Abstract

Abstract Dundas Island and features of its natural history are described, following a visit on 21 January 1978. The island has by far the largest known breeding colony of Hooker's sea lion ‐ 2767 animals were counted ashore, including approximately 1700 pups. The number of breeding females in the world population is now estimated at about 2700, but total population size remains unknown.
