caribou

Stratified random sampling was used to estimate the size of the Nelchina herd of Alaskan caribou (<em>Rangifer tarandus</em>) in February 1962 (Siniff and Skoog 1964).  
The total population of sample units (for which responses would be counts of caribou) consisted of 699 four mile$^2$ areas.  This population was divided into six strata, and each of these was randomly sampled.
