Hello,
 
I would be happy to send the seal ID manual from my dissertation to anyone who is interested.  It includes adults and juveniles of all North Atlantic seal species, and comes with the usual caveat about the difficulty in distinguishing between many of these species.
 
Please contact me off list if you are interested in a copy.  I currently have a student scanning all of the images into PDF format.  Once that's finished, I will e-mail out the PDF, and will also make it availble on my website.
 
Best,
Lisa
