摘要：

IN elephant seals (Mirounga leonina, Linn.), there is an enormous development of the hypodermis in which all the dissectible body fat is deposited. The subcutaneous fat layer acts as a physical insulator1, and its excessive depletion would almost certainly lead to death in the aquatic environment. © 1968 Nature Publishing Group.
