TRUE,Head Curator, Department of Biology, U. S. National Museum At the suggestion of Mr. Wm. H. Dall, the National Museumpurchased from Mr. B. H. Cammann of Empire City, Coos County,Oregon, in 1898, a portion of a large fossil skull from the softMiocene sandstone of that locality. The specimen, as I am informedby Mr. Dall, was found by Mr. Cammann in the sandstone bluffon the east side of the lower part of Coos Bay, between EmpireCity and the south slough, in the formation to which Mr. J. has given the name of the Empire Beds. Upon examination, the skull proves, as Mr. Cammann had sup-posed, to be that of a sea-lion. It represents a genus allied toEumetopias, but much larger. The fragment consists of the brain-case, or cranium proper, together with the pterygoids and thepalatines as far forward
