Description
Summary:hood The third species is the hood-seal, which is much larger than the harp. The male [is] called the dog-hood [see "dog-hood"] . . . The young of this species have not the thick woolly coat of the harp-seals, and from their color they are called "blue-backs." The hoods bring forth their young two or three weeks later than the harps, and are found farther north than the others, but never mingled with them. Both species bring forth but one at a birth, and that only once a year. PRINTED ITEM DNE-cit DNE-cit W. J. KIRWIN SEP 1970 JH SEP 1970 Used I and Sup Used I and Sup Used I
