The Commercial Biology of the Elephant Seal (Mirounga leonina linn) on Macquarie Island - 1948
Taken from the report prepared by R Kenny: In this report our comparatively brief knowledge of the Elephant Seal at Macquarie Island (based only on one year's observations) have been augmented by abstracting notes from "The Natural History of the Elephant Seal" by L. Harrison Matthews...
