with greater frequency on seals collected in 

 April and May 1964 off California, Oregon, 

 and Washington than on seals taken in the same 

 areas during the winter and early spring in 

 previous years. 



From 19 May through 1 June, 98 seals were 

 examined for barnacles and algae. Algae, in 



amounts from a few scattered spots to almost 

 a complete cover, were growing on 26, and 

 gooseneck barnacles were attached to the 

 guard hairs of 6. Algae in samples taken from 

 nine seals were identified as Ectocarpus sp. 

 Pennate and centrate diatoms were also present 

 in a few of the samples.
