Criticizes and condemns the views of Theodor [Zool Rec. xxv, Mamm. 
p. 28], and concludes that the brain of the Pinnipedia is essentially of 
the typical carnivorous type ; all its differences being due to the pre- 
ponderance of some parts, and the atrophy of others.

of the family. The diagnostic characters of the two genera are given on 
p. 379 of the memoir.
