APPENDIX B 



BEHAVIOR NOTES 



Behavior of fur seals has been studied in detail only on land. 

 Descriptions of behavior at sea have dealt mainly with reactions of 

 seals to disturbance or pursuit by a ship. Behavior of seals is likely to 

 vary from that observed daily on the open sea when floating debris such 

 as logs, lumber, and kelp is present. Appendix table 19 is a compilation 

 of observations in 1964.
