upon studies of the life history of the ringed seal, Phoca Following hispida Schreber, its bionomics are being considered in order to develop a rational basis for exploitation. A preliminary report on the economics of seal hunting has been published previously (McLaren 1958), but was not written for wide distribution. A discussion of population ecology and sustainable hunting yield, which is central to the problem of exploitation, is given by McLaren (1961). The present paper is concerned with those methods that can be used in the field without collection of specimens. The work is by no means finished, and is presented here in the hope that readers whose activities take them to the north can make observations to help test and improve the accuracy of the estimates and methods. The pertinent observations are listed at the end of the paper, and it can be seen that most are neither difficult nor time consuming.
