Supplement to the Catalogue of Seals and Whales in the British Museum

Supplement to the Catalogue of Seals and Whales in the British Museum, authored by John Edward Gray and first published in 1871, is a scientific work that expands on the existing catalog of marine mammals. It provides detailed classifications, anatomical characteristics, and geographical distributions of various species of seals (Pinnipedia) and whales (Cetacea). This publication is notable for its meticulous documentation and insights into the morphology of these animals, reflecting the growing interest in natural history and taxonomy during the late 19th century.
