摘要
Several zoologists have used historical material to postulate that a distinct species of seal, identified only as the ''upland seal'', once inhabited the Antipodes and Macquarie Islands, but is now extinct. On closer examination that conclusion seems unsustainable. However, when taken with the recent conclusions of Taylor (1992), the historical evidence may help provide an explanation of why the total seal stocks on the Antipodes, and elsewhere in the wider New Zealand region, are taking at least two centuries, or more, to recover their former numbers.
