DISPOSITION OF FUR-SEAL SKINS TAKEN AT PRIBILOF ISLANDS 



On January 1, 1934, there were on hand 73,420 fur-seal skins taken 

 on the Pribilof Islands. Of these, 73,388 were at St. Louis, Mo., 

 and 32 at Washington. The foregoing figures include two skins which 

 were unaccounted for at the close of 1933 but which were subsequently 

 found when the shipment for that year was unpacked at St. Louis. 



In 1934 there were taken on the Pribilof Islands 53,468 fur-seal 

 skins, of which 8,022 were allotted to the Government of the Dominion 

 of Canada. The latter represent the Canadian share, or 15 percent, 

 of the season's take, in accordance with treaty provisions, and 2 

 additional skins to offset a shortage in the previous year's shipment. 



Sales of Pribilof Islands sealskins in 1934 totaled 50,753 skins, con- 

 sisting of 50,553 that were on hand on January 1 and 200 that were 

 taken during the year, leaving 68,113 on hand on December 31, 1934. 

 The following tables show further details in regard to fur-seal skms 

 taken on the Pribilof Islands, as well as details in regard to other 

 Government-owned fur-seal skins under the control of the Department 

 of Commerce:
