sion was made for increasing the reserve if the idle and harem bull 

 counts made in the breeding season indicated the need of a larger one. 

 Since some of the 3-year-old males are never taken up in either the 

 killing drives or the drives for marking reserves, the number of animals 

 remaining for the reserve is always greater than the number marked. 



In 1929, 40,068 fur seals were killed, of which 33,216 were taken 

 on St. Paul Island and 6,852 on St. George Island. These figures 

 include 800 killed in the fall for food for the natives. Details in 

 regard to the killings are shown in the following tabulations :
