SUMMARY OF DISSECTIONS ON ST. GEORGE. 587 



AUGUST 15. 

 MR. LUCAS'S NOTES. 



The slide on Ardiguen looks deserted, and while there are pups and cows at the 

 top, the bottom part is completely empty. 



A cow comes in on Lukauin with a spear through her back just over the pelvis. 

 One spearhead has penetrated the body while the second is dragged after her. The 

 cow was killed. 



Mr. Greeley reports that Uncinaria examined under the microscope still contain 

 many eggs, which are apparently growing larger and riper. 



AUGUST 16. 

 MR. LUCAS'S NOTES. 



Professor Thompson and I made a count l this morning of Zapadni Reef, finding 

 2,687. 



Mr. Greeley reports that deaths from Uncinaria are decreasing rapidly. In the 

 rocky end of Gorbatch where 20 dead pups from this cause were found two weeks ago, 

 only 1 could be found to-day. Many starving pups are to be seen. 



AUGUST 17. 

 MR. LUCAS'S NOTES. 



In the whole length of Tolstoi I find only 1 fresh dead pup and 1 dying of 

 uncinaria. There are many starving pups. Of the large number of dead pups here, 

 almost without exception all are long dead. There are 7 dead pups on Tolstoi.

MR. SNODGRASS'S NOTES. 



Summary of all dissections on St. George. 



Starved pups 84J per cent of total number dissected. 



1 The widely divergent results reached in this recount from the one on Kitovi makes it impossible 

 in the very nature of things to accept both, and it is probable that both are less accurate than the 

 original coimts. The count of Clark and Maconn gave 3,041 to this rookery.
