^{page 276 note †} Sir Everard Home (“Comparative Anatomy,” v. p. 27), refers to a placenta of a seal which had come under his observation, and in vol. vi. plates 26 and 63, gives some figures of the organ. The figures show the villous structure; but they are especially intended by the author to illustrate the “ nerves.” Professor Owen (“ Comparative Anatomy,” iii. p. 745), says that in the seals the placenta is zonular in four or five continuous or connected divisions. In Phoca vitulina the diameter of the placental zone, parallel with the long axis of the ovum, is between 2 and 3 inches.

^{page 280 note *} The birth in the Zoological Gardens of the young seal to which this placenta belonged, is recorded by Mr A. D. Bartlett in the Proceedings of the Zoological Society of London, June 11,1868. In his description it is named Phoca fœtida, but I believe that the species was vitulina, as stated in the text.
