Abstract
In selecting from Deevey's extensive review, we have tried to emphasize the different types of problems that arise in working with animal populations; our most serious omission is a detailed study of barnacles that examines crowding effects and mortality. Deevey begins his article with discussions of the life table and of different general survival patterns, which we also omit.
