blue clay containing boulders and marine shells. Logan 14 "' reports 

 another specimen from a clay pit near Montreal, Quebec. 



A careful study of the phocid remains of the glacial epoch in 

 Sweden was made by Kinberg. 146 He reported the occurrence of 

 Phoca groenlandica at Hastefjorden and at Stockholm. Part of the 

 skeleton of this same seal found in the Yoldia clay of the Elbe Kiver 

 at Succase, Lenzen, Reimannsfelds, and Steinert, Germany, formed 

 the basis of a paper by Jentzsch and Tenne. 147 



The reported occurrence of a mandible of Phoca groenlandica in 

 the cavern of Raymonden, seven kilometers from Perigueux, and near 

 Bordeaux, France, seems rather unusual. This mandible was found 

 associated with a human skeleton and objects of human workmanship. 

 It has been affirmed by Gaudry 148 that the mandible unquestionably 

 belongs to Phoca groenlandica and not to Phoca vitulina. It is very 

 probable, even if his disposition of the mandible is correct, that it is 

 Recent, and not Pleistocene in occurrence. 



In Scotland, remains of a fossil phocid, closely allied to Phoca 

 vitulina, were first reported by Knox. 149 These remains were found 

 in the clay bed of the Firth of Forth, near Camelon, Falkirk County. 

 A number of years later, Page 150 reported the occurrence of this species 

 in several other localities in Scotland. Two skulls were found in 

 Aberdeenshire, the pelvic bones of another specimen in the brick clays 

 of Kirkcaldy, and a skeleton of a young animal at the Springfield 

 brickworks, Cupar Muir, in the County of Fife, Scotland. Part of 

 the skeleton of a young seal was unearthed in a stratum of clay while 

 a shaft was being sunk for a coal pit at Grangemouth, near Falkirk. 151 

 The mandible was figured by Sir William Turner. 152 



Several specimens of a seal, closely allied to Phoca hispida, are 

 known from Scotland. The vertebrae and portions of ribs of a phocid,
