Introduction
In this paper I shall give an evaluation of the four most commonly used methods of assessing common brushtail possum Trichosurus vulpecula populations. Examples have been chosen which illustrate the type of results that can be expected when these methods are applied in their appropriate field situation. With one exception, the assessments were conducted by F.R.I. in the course of their possum research programme.
