Ch 17 18

males when rutting horn great battles on the ice; & their roaring "is said to be sometimes so loud as to be heard that it can as to be heard from miles off." When attacked by men they are said to roar or bellow; & whenever irritated the bladder is inflated. Some [illeg] believe that the voice is thus strengthened by the bladder; but various other explanations have been suggested for their use uses for of the bladder have been suggested; & Mr. R. Brown believes that it is an organ of defence against any kind of danger. This latter view is not probable, if what the sealers now say, & formerly have long said according to Pennant, is correct, namely that neither the females nor the young of either sex have possess the hood or bladder is remains in a rudimentary condition in the female & undeveloped in the males whilst young. in the young of both sexes. But in regard to the female females former, Mr Brown does not think that there are just grounds for the beliefs the statement) (8)*(32)

Foot-note

[Descent 2: 278: "The males when rutting fight furiously on the ice, and their roaring "is said to be sometimes so loud as to be heard four miles off." When attacked by man they likewise roar or bellow; and whenever irritated the bladder is inflated. Some naturalists believe that the voice is thus strengthened, but various other uses have been assigned to this extraordinary structure. Mr. R. Brown thinks that it serves as a protection against accidents of all kinds. This latter view is not probable, if what the sealers have long maintained is correct, namely, that the hood or bladder is very poorly developed in the females and in the males whilst young.8

New York,' vol. i. 1824, p. 94. Pennant has also collected information from the sealers on this animal. The fullest account is given by Mr. Brown, who doubts about the rudimentary condition of the bladder in the female, in 'Proc. Zoolog. Soc.' 1868, p. 435."]
