Part I. Of Fijbex 
The LONG-NECK'D SEAL. I find him no where 
diftinclly mention d. He is much tenderer 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 inthatinflead 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 off. The 
■procejfus of the Os Frontis which makes up the Orbit of the 
Eye in Land- Animals, is here wanting $ and the faid Bone 
pinched up much more narrowly : Both to make room, 
as it fhould feem, for a very large Eye. The paffage into 
the Ears flands very oddly. In Dogs, Cats, and mo ft other 
Land- Animals, forward and outwardly. But here it ftands 
juft oppofitely, fc. behind and inwardly. 
The FORE-FOOT of a very great SEAL. 
The VIVIPAROUS EEL-POUT. Muftela marina m- 
uipara. ( the Male , Lupus marinus Schonfeldii. ) 'Tis 
well pictur d by Adam Oleareus , (a) who calls it a 
Sea-Wolf ( Ein See-Wolf ). As alfo by Jobnfton 5 but not 
defcribed. But in Gefners Faralypomena 'tis both figured 
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 fhall there- 
fore add the Defcription I drew up before I met with his. 
'Tis a yard long. The Head * a foot long, and almoft 
as high 3 being compreffed on the fides, three inches and 
5 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 k 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 5 
both in figure and fcituation, very unufual. In the upper 
Jaw, five before 3 not Incifors, or Cutters, but thick Pun- 
chers. To the Roots of which, within fide, grow as it 
were nine little Teeth. Behind, are three Grinders 5 one
