#' Data from a capture-recapture study of fur seal pups

#' These data are used in the book "Computational Statistics" 
#' by G.H. Givens and J.A. Hoeting (2013).  They are discussed in Chapter 7, 
#' Examples 7.2,7.3,7.8, and Exercise 7.2.

#' Description: Data from a capture-recapture study conducted on the
#' Otago Penninsula, South Island, New Zealand.  Fur seal pups were
#' marked and released during 7 census attempts in one season.  The
#' population is assumed closed.  For each census attempt, the number of
#' pups captured and the number of these captures corresponding to pups
#' never previously caught are recorded.
