APPENDIX 
ADDITIONAL NOTE. 
The Walrus. — As exception has been taken to the inclusion of this 
species as a British Mammal, it may be interesting to note that Mr. Henry 
Jamieson, Keeper of the Skerries Lighthouse, Shetland, reports the occur- 
rence of a Walrus which haunted the neighbourhood of the islands from 
July till October 1920, as recorded in the Scottish Naturalist (Nos. 107- 
108, 1920). 
The animal was first observed early in July by the boatman and his son 
while lifting a fishing line inshore at the entrance of Angry Sound, when it 
followed the boat for some distance, about fifty yards astern. 
It was subsequently seen at various times, the last being on October 
13th, when it was observed by Mr. Jamieson. 
The tusks in this example were estimated at from 12 to 15 inches long. 
According to Mr. Jamieson, Walruses have been seen in the same 
neighbourhood twice previously during the last fifty years.
