PRODUCTS. 



The total quantity of products secured was 178,358,301 pounds, 

 valued at $10,160,183, a gain of 10,949,848 pounds and $1,089,093 

 over 1906. Except for fertilizer, oil, furs, and skins, the weights 

 shown are round weights, or the weight of products when first taken 

 from the water. The weights of prepared products are shown in the 

 subsidiary tables of the report. Smelt appear in the table for the 

 first time this year. Whalebone and walrus ivory, teeth, hides, and 

 heads are the only products reported from arctic Alaska. As has 

 been stated in previous reports, it was found an impossibility to 

 secure even approximate data as to the persons engaged or the 

 investment in the hunting of aquatic animals (except sea otter and 

 fur seals), which is general among the natives.
