including the species on Appendix II, and recommend- 
ed that population counts be made of different popula- 
tions, including studies of sex and age ratios and 
population stability. It was also recommended that the 
data obtained be used to reevaluate the status of the 
walrus prior to the next CITES convention. Based on 
this advice, The Netherlands has decided to reevaluate 
the walrus situation during 1993 for possible consider- 
ation at the Ninth Conference of Parties to the Con- 
vention, to be held in the United States in 1994.
