Abstract: A double Gaussian form is fit to annual moult count observations for both adult and juvenile \npenguins at Robben and Dassen Islands. While giving similar results for total moult numbers to the \nconventional linear interpolation approach in most cases, this new approach seems preferable for \nseasons where there are lengthly gaps between successive observations, and is accordingly \nproposed as a preferred approach. The approach is also used to provide coarse estimates of the \nprecision of estimates of total moult numbers.
