PEEFACE. 



This Catalogue contains an account of all the specimens of Seals 



and Cetacea, and their bones, that are contained in the British 



Museum, and a description of the specimens which are contained in 



other collections, in order to show what are the species which are 



desiderata to the Museum Collection. 



Many of the woodcuts are the same as were prepared to illustrate 



papers published in the ' Proceedings of the Zoological Society,' 



which have been kindly lent by the Council of that Society for the 



purpose.
