Using data obtained by the general capture/recapture sequential sampling process, an exact analytical expression for the maximum likelihood (ML) estimate of the population size, N, is introduced. As a consequence, it is shown that bounded likelihood functions have at most two maxima. For the simple one-by-one case the ML estimate is unique.
