写一本涵盖哺乳动物目结构、习性、进化和分类等内容的综合性书籍是一项相当独特的成就。然而，维克多·B·谢弗博士以令人钦佩的技巧做到了这一点。
作为一个类群，鳍足类动物分布于世界各地，尽管它们在繁殖季节主要局限于大陆海岸、岛屿和极地冰原。因此，在这个关键的繁殖时期，它们的分布基本上是一维的，与鸟类、某些鱼类和许多海洋无脊椎动物中酸的分布相当。正如作者所说，这可能对它们的进化发展产生了显着影响。
关于鳍足类动物的起源知之甚少，因为……

To write a comprehensive book that encompasses, among other things, the structure, habits, evolution and classification of a mammalian order is a rather unique accomplishment. This, however, has been done with admirable skill by Dr. Victor B. Scheffer.
The pinnipeds, as a group, are world-wide in distribution although they are limited essentially to continental shores, islands, and polar ice fields in the breeding season. During this critical reproductive period, therefore, their distribution is essentially one-dimensional, comparable to that of alcids among birds, certain fishes and many marine invertebrates. This, as the author suggests, has probably had a marked influence on their evolutionary development.
Little is known regarding the origin of the pinnipeds since …
