Figure 2. — Indian and Banana Rivers, Fla., indicating locations of transects 15-26 and sightings of herds of bottlenosed dolphins. 

 Numbers by the symbols indicate numbers of individuals counted. The symbols indicate locales that were contained within the 

 0.463-km (0.25 n.mi.) strips. 



were seen with seven groups (10.9^J) and com- 

 posed 2'~'( of all animals seen. Depending on the

 calves of the year surviving at the time of survey

 herd) for each replicate and the variances of both 

 values are summarized in Table 2. The estimated 

 densities of dolphins were calculated from:
