- 7 - GRID MAMMALS Seals Seals were again most abundant in the north section of the grid where 25 probable Northern Fur Seals were noted. One seal was also seen in the central portion, and three were in the south section. Two of the latter w ere believed to have been Northern Fur Seals, but this was south of their normal range and as the observer was not well versed in identification, the recording may be in error. Porpoise sp. Porpoise were most abundant in the central and south (21 and 48 respect- ively) sections of the grid. The observers were not familiar with field marks, but Baird's Porpoise were positively identified. One or more additionaal species were not identified. Whales. Six unidentified whales were seen in the north section, and ten in one group were noted in the south. No specific identifications were made.
