ISLAND, 1S1. 



1 The years 1891-93 cover the period of the modus vivendi during which land killing was limited to the nominal figure 

 of 7,500 seals a year to supply food for the Alenta. The excess over this figure in 1891 is due to the fact that the skins 

 taken prior to the date of the agreement, June 15, were not included in the limited quota allowed, this being held by the 

 agents to begin on the date of the agreement. As a result of this unnecessary restriction of land killing the rookeries are 

 now grossly overstocked with bulls.
