AGE CLASSES 
The age class of a male seal of the Pribilof Islands herd is deter- 
mined from the length of its body. The classification was derived 
from measurements of a large number of pups branded in 1912 and 
killed in subsequent years. The limits of the various age classes are 
shown in the table following:
