Summary of total killings for all purposes on Pribilof Islands, 1870-1897* ' 



1 This table includes all males killed for any purpose on the islands, pups, stagy seals killed for food and seals whose 

 skins were not accepted by the lessees. The totals here given are taken for the year beginning January 1 and ending 

 December 31, and therefore do not correspond to the totals as represented by the quota. 



"To date of August 7 on St. Paul; of August 10 on St. George. 



'Record of killinys on Northeast Point (St. Paul) and Zapadni (St. Georye) rookeries, 1871-1897. 



NOTE These figures are in part taken from the foregoing table of killings. Where this does not distinguish the 

 rookeries concerned, the information is taken from the log of St. Paul Island. The results from these two isolated rookeries 

 are interesting and important in that they show the same relatiye conditions as are shown by the herd as a whole. 



'The average quota from Northeast Point for twelve years (1871 to 1882) was 24,500. With very much closer killing 

 it only yielded this year about one-fourth this amount. 



2 In this year as well as the year preceding the quota was contracted to about 85,000 for commercial reasons.
