The lungs were like a white parasol cut In two. In the middle of the were two 'paws' remarkably like hand's the five lingers being attached by arW membrane. The sea wolf's habit is to lie at the bottom of the water, with open mouth, manipulating two codlike flapper to attract its prey.

These flappers are fixed over Its head. On being cut open tho wolf's stomach was fouud to contain a sea gull, which bad been swallowed whole.
