Fig. 74. — Zalophus californianus (Less) ALLEN? — Drawn by W. P. from a lving 
specimen in the Brighton Aquarium. — From the J//ustrated London News of Jan. 6, 1877. 
Fig. 74 represents a sea-lion of the Brighton Aquarium. I think 
it is a Zalophus californianus (Luss.) AuuEN. We observe that it 
has a rather pointed, rather blunt snout, with whiskers; that the 
eyes protrude like those of a toad, that there is a little bunch a 
little above and behind the eye, that its neck is long in compar- 
ison with that of common seals, that in this position the neck is 
narrower than the head, and the shoulders are visible, that the 
flappers resemble somewhat those of turtles, that the body is round 
and slender, and the skin smooth and glittering in the sun, though, 
in fact, it is hairy and not shining when it is dry. 
Fig. 75 shows the same species in another position. The neck 
is not extended as much as possible, and so the head seems to be 
as large as the neck; the forehead and nose form nearly a straight 
line; in the bunch above the eye protruding from the surface we 
clearly see the heavy eye-brow; the head is held at nearly right 
angles with the neck, so that the latter gets wrinkles on the throat ,
