Part I. Of Fijher, 95 
The LONG-NECK'B SEAL. I find him no where 
diftm&ly mention d. He is much flenderer than either of 
the former. But that wherein he principally differs, is the 
length of his Neck. For from his Nofe-end to his fore- 
Feet, and from thence to his Tail, are the fame meafure. As 
alfo in that mftead of fore-Feet, he hath rather Finns 5 not 
having any Claws thereon, as have the other kinds. 
The SKULL of a SEAL. Given by Henry Whiftler 
Efq$. The Teeth are (haped fomewhat like a Dogs. The 
tops of them all are flat, being doubtlefs filed orE The 
frocejfus of the Os Frontis which makes up the Orbit of the 
Eye in Land- Animals, is here wanting ; and the laid Bone 
punched up much more narrowly : Both to make room, 
as it fhould feem, for a very large Eye. The pallagc into 
the Ears Hands very oddly. In Dogs, Cats, and moft other 
Land- Animals, forward and outwardly. But here it ftands 
juft oppofitely, fc. behind and inwardly. 
The FORE-FOOT of a very great SEAL.

and defcribed by Ge. Fabritius under the Name of Klipfifch 
(L e. Rock-Fifh, ) fo called by the people near the Baltic^ 
( where he breeds. ) Fabritius is particular only as to the 
Teeth, and is alfo miftaken in fome things. I lhall there- 
fore add the Defcription I drew up before I met with his. 
'Tis a yard long. The Head I a foot long, and almoft 
as high 5 being compreffed on the fides, three inches and 
3 over underneath, her Forehead but a little above two. 
Her Snout a little Convex. The Eyes very high, an inch 
long. The Noftrils before the Eyes * of an inch. Both 
the Chaps blunt-angled before, from the Corners of 
the Mouth three inches long , between the Corners , as 
much. 
The Teeth all very thick, like thofe of Quadrupedes 3 
both in figure and fcituation, very unufual. In the upper 
Jaw, five before 5 not Incifors, or Cutters, but thick Punr 
chers. To the Roots of which, within fide, grow as it 
were nine little Teeth. Behind, are three Grinders 5 one
