ALASKA INDUSTRIES. 



Tahles showing in detail all killing of fur seals, for whatsoever purpose, on the Pi'ihilof 

 Islands during the term of the lease of the Alaska Commercial Company — that is, from 

 1870 to 1889, both inclusive. 



Note. — There is a misapprehension in regard to the names of the several rookeries and hauling 

 grounds, and they are often confounded by people who are not thoroughly acquainted with them, 

 /oltoi and Garbotch are local subdivisions of the Reef Rookery and are treated as rookeries by some 

 of the Treasury agents, while others ignore them altogether. Zapadnie and Southwest Bay are one. 

 Polivina and Halfway I'oint are one; some men using the Russian while others use the English names. 

 English Bay and Middle Hill are separate and distinct rookeries, and yet they are often spoken of as 

 though they were one. Near is a local subdivision of North Rookery. Little East is a subdivision 

 of East Rookery. Sea Lion Rock, Southwest Point, and Rocky Point are neither rookeries nor haul- 

 ing grounds in the strict sense of the term ; the seals come and go at will, for it is only under the most 

 favorable conditions of wind and water they can be reached, and it is but seldom there are many of 

 them. By keeping these facts in mind it will be seen that seals were driven from all of the hauling 

 grounds on both islands from 1870 to date.
