A pup with a suppurating eye killed at Zapadui was brought home. On examination 

 the eye was found to be injured by a bite or possibly by the peck of a gull. A slight 

 contusion above the orbit. The eye was cut out and saved in formalin. The pup was 

 killed by being strangled aud being knelt upon ; it took between three and five 

 minutes to kill him. The lungs showed congestion as in other pups examined. No 

 sign of external contusions were found. 



MR. LUCAS'S NOTES. 



Most of the dead pups counted have been long dead ; recent ones very few. 

 Two freshly drowned pups were found on Southwest Bay sand beach, but the total 

 number drowned is small. Many of the drowned pups are .emaciated and would 

 have died anyhow. Starving pups once washed off the rocks would be less able to get 

 back than healthy ones.
