[CINC] Steller Sea Lion(s) at Ventura

[Lee Fleischer]

Since we have been noting at least one of the species Eumetopias jubatus now commonly called 'northern sea lion' in the Ventura area; I'd thought I'd point out that Georg Wilhiem Steller would probably appreciate (albeit from the grave) having his name spelled correctly when we observe the largest of the sea lions originally described by the German botanist in 1741 when he sailed with the Russian explorer Vitus Bering to what we now know as Alaska. 


So let's make it Steller; no 'a'.


Thanks!
