Abstract
The cellular composition of the peripheral blood of the Baikal seal Phoca sibirica (Gmelin, 1788) has been studied. In blood smears, various cells were found: large and small lymphocytes, monocytes, neutro-, eosino- and basophils. Analysis of the leukogram showed the predominance of neutrophils and lymphocytes among white blood cells. The proportion of the content of various forms of leukocytes corresponded to similar data of marine representatives of true seals (Phocidae).
