We are gerateful to North Atlantic Marine Mammal Commission (NAMMCO) and the Faroese Museum of Natural History for allowing us to use the dolphin survey data from 1995 North Atlantic Sightings Survey (NASS95). These data are analysed using mark-recapture distance sampling methods by Ca\~nadas et al. (2004).
