Extract

It has long been known that there is a considerable seal population on the North Cornwall coast. But precise information concerning the species present, the density of the population, and the positions of the rookeries has been almost entirely lacking. In order to obtain data on these points, a detailed survey of the North Cornwall coast was carried out during the fortnight August 7th-20th (1935) inclusive.
