Weights of Bacula and Testes of 

 Young Male Seals 



We collected bacula and testes from male 

 seals ^ 2 years old on St. Paul Island from 22 

 to 26 July 1968. Of 1,300 seals sampled from 

 the kill, body length and age were determined 



for 1,300 and weights were obtained for the 

 bacula of 944 and paired testes of 60. Figure 

 12 and table 32 give bacula weights and table 

 33 gives testes weights.
