I do not believe that there is a specimen of this species in. any 

 museum, nor any remains of it. The specimen sent from St. Peters- 

 burg under the name of Otaria leonina was the Ursus marimis of 

 Steller, and is, like the genus which I have called Callorhinus, more 

 allied to Arctoeephaliis than to Otaria. Yet I have such faith in the 

 accuracy of Steller that I have decided to retain it in the list, and 

 hope some day to receive a specimen with its bones, or at least its 

 skuU.
