Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hand-List of Seals, Morses, Sea-Lions, and Sea-Bears in the British Museum In this Hand-list it is proposed to give an account of all the specimens of the Seals, Morses, Sea-lions, and Sea-bears in the British Museum. Many of these have been described in: - 1. The Catalogue of Specimens of Mammalia in the British Museum. By Dr. J. E. Gray. Part II. Seals. 12mo. 1850. Woodcuts of skulls. 2. The Catalogue of Seals and Whales in the British Museum. By Dr. J. E. Gray. 8vo. 1866. Woodcuts of skulls. 3. The Supplement to the Catalogue of Seals and Whales in the British Museum. By Dr. J. E. Gray. 8vo. 1871. The new species discovered, or improvements made in the arrangement of the Pinnipedia, since the publication of these Catalogues have been adopted, and references made to the works in which such species have been described. When any of the specimens have served as the types of a description or figure of a species in a scientific work, reference is made to where the description and figure are to be found. Whenever a specimen has been presented or obtained directly from a collector, the name of the presenter or collector and the habitat sent with the specimen have been recorded; but the greater number of the specimens have been obtained from dealers, with only the most general habitats. The condition in which the specimen is preserved, its size, and the age and sex, when known with certainty, are recorded.
