The future of the Alaska fur seal herd seems 

 assured as long as the nations of the world 

 continue to work together in the solution of 

 problems peculiar to such migratory wildlife pop- 

 ulations. An epilogue for the Alaska fur seal 

 story is found in the words of Dr. G.C.L. Bertram, 



English biologist, following his visit to the Pri- 

 bilof Islands: "One can give no higher praise 

 than sincerely to hope that planning and agree- 

 ment for the future may be as beneficent and ra- 

 tional as have been the administration and conser- 

 vation of the herd during the last forty years." 



Skins that have been washed, cleaned of blubber, cured in a saturated salt solution, and drained 

 ore rubbed with salt and boric-acid powder, rolled, and tightly packed in barrels for shipment.
