(17) Dissections and manipulations of the hands of 14 specimens of four genera of fur seals and sea lions and of generalized fissiped carnivores were used to identify the structural modifications involved in formation of the expanded forelimb paddles characteristic of these pinnipeds.
(18) Unique features of forelimb function during swimming in these pinnipeds include the amounts of abduction-adduction and rotary movements used.
(19) In contrast, in the lipoproteins of pinnipeds (harbor seals, sea lions, and walrus) there was no protein comparable in size to human apoE; however, there were two proteins in the 40- to 44-kDa range.

Suborder
Definition:
(n.) A division of an order; a group of genera of a little lower rank than an order and of greater importance than a tribe or family; as, cichoraceous plants form a suborder of Compositae.
Example Sentences:
(1) The virus species should carry the name of the family, super-family, suborder, or order naturally infected by this virus.
(2) Although the camel belongs to the suborder Artiodactyla, the greater omentum exhibits a striking similarity to that of Perissodactyla.
(3) These results strongly suggest that (a) the vascular compartment is important in the regulation of intra-islet cellular interactions and further suggest that (b) the order of islet cellular perfusion and interaction is from the B cell core outward to the mantle, and (c) the mantle is further subordered with the majority of D cells downstream or distal to the majority of A cells.
(4) Since the artiodactyl suborders diverged in the mid-Eocene some 50 million years ago, the fact that representatives of some of them show no differences in their cytochromes c (cow, sheep, and hog), while another exhibits as many as three such differences, verifies that even in relatively closely related lines of descent the rate at which cytochrome c changes in the course of evolution is not constant.
(5) However, suborders specificity relationship could easily be detected.
(6) In the present study the comparative ultrastructure of the definitive chorio-allantoic placental barrier has been studied in considerable detail in six species of bats, representing six different families and both suborders of Chiroptera, by electron microscopy, and these species illustrate different kinds of interhaemal membranes met with among bats.
(7) The suborder Prosimii appears to be a paraphyletic taxon, based on the retention of numerous primitive character states in tarsiers and strepsirhines.
