1/ Some seals judged to be 2 years old were age 3. 



2/ Only tags recovered from 26 June through 5 August 1967 and 26 June 

 through 2 August 1968 are included. The number of recoveries were ad- 

 justed to include animals for which data were missing (see footnote 2, 

 table 2U) . 



3/ Tags were applied after the kill in 1966, so the estimate applies 

 to that time.
