These figures, which, as has been said, are exclusive of 

 nestlings, and, in fact, include no young ones under eight 

 months old, may not seem large, possibly they are below 

 the truth, but I cannot think that they are much below it. 



* Estimated at 5,000 on p. 164, but I liave since thought it safe to 

 raise the number to 8,000, which is still far below McDonald's figure.
