Abstract
Sarich, V. M. (Dept. Anthropology, Univ. California, Berkeley 94720) 1969. Pinniped phytogeny. Syst. Zool., 18:416–422.—Immunological measurements of structural differences among the various carnivore albumins were made in order to develop a quantitative phylogeny of the major pinniped taxa. It is shown that the pinnipeds are definitely of monophyletic origin and that the walrus (Odobenus) is of recent derivation from an otariid stock.Keywords
