Summer on a typical 

 fur seal rookery — 

 Kitovi Rookery on St. 

 Paul Island. Char- 

 acteristically, the fur

 born. In May and 

 June come the harem 

 bulls or beachmas- 

 ters, later the females. 



13 JUNE. — By mid-June most of the harem bulls have estab- 

 lished stations and await the arrival of the females.

28 JUNE. — By late June, the first females arrive, and harems 

 begin to form.
