Tables showing in detail all killing of fur seals, for whatsoever purpose, on the Pribilof 

 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. 

 Zoltoi 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. Zapadiue and Southwest Bay are 

 one. Polivinia and Half-way Point 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 local subdivision of East rookery. Sea Lion Rock, Southwest Point, and Rocky Point 

 are neither rookeries nor hauling 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.]
