The labyrinth of the seal is obviously the larger in everyrespect—cochlea, vestibule and canals. In this matter the sealstands in peculiar contradistinction to the cetacea, the whales,porpoises, etc. I have no specimen showing the labyrinth of anyof these animals, but from corrosion preparations it has been ascer-tained that while the cochlea is very large the vestibule and semi-circular canals are smaller than in almost any mammal. In this slidethere is also to be seen one of the otoliths which are very large inthe seal. The next slide, however, shows them better.
