the water, with its neck contracted, so that it looks as having no 
neck, or a neck much larger than the head; the head seen in 
front is as round as a barrel; the skin is wrinkled. The individual 
looks at us, as if it would take a view of us. 
Fig. 80 is the same individual in the same position but seen 
from aside. The head is now much longer, the snout neither too 
pointed, nor too blunt; the head is held at nearly right angles

with the neck, forming a “gill” (read gillsplit) by wrinkling the 
skin on the throat. | 
Fig. 81 is a drawing of Otaria jubata, quite dry. The head 
is held at nearly right angles with the neck forming two “gills”. 
The snout is rather blunt, apparently quadrangular in front. The 
nostrils are at the end of the snout and wide open, “nearly semi- 
circular valves overarching’ them. The eyes are wide open and 
disproportionately large. The neck in comparison with that of seals 
is long. The skin is hairy, the hairs of the neck are much longer. 
This mane begins at the occiput. The form of the flappers is like 
that of a turtle’s. Compare the form of the foreflappers with that 
of figg. 36, 45 and 50. The body is round and slender. 
Fig. 82 represents a sea-bear, Callorhinus ursinus, quite dry.
