We have received a Eiaged Seal (Pagomys foetidus) that was born 

 in the Zoological Gardens and died soon after its birth. " It was 

 entirely covered with closely-set, well-developed fur of a silver-grey 

 colour, being rather browner on the upper surface. It is 2 feet 

 8 inches long, from the tip of the nose to the end of the tail ; the fore 

 paws are 6, the hinder 8 inches long, and the latter are 7 inches
