Fic. 15.—Fur-seal harem, Pribilof Islands, Alaska 
COMPUTATION OF FUR-SEAL HERD 
The computation of the size of the fur-seal herd in 1926 was made 
by Edward C. Johnston, who has had immediate charge of this phase 
of the work in recent years, beginning with 1921. ‘His report for 
1926 will be found on pages 330 to 336 of this document. Following 
is a comparative statement of the numerical strength of the various 
elements of the herd in the years 1915 to 1926, inclusive.
