Abstract:

The frequently used tag-procedure of estimating the size of a biological population may be invalid if the population has variable stratification. In this paper conditions are given under which the usual estimates, as well as one proposed by Schaefer [1] for this situation, are valid. Also a new estimate is proposed and studied.
