1 As it was not possible to allocate to each island the 3, 4, or 5 year old males in 1928, it is not possible 

 to do this in respect to the 4, 5, or 6 year old males in 1929. 



-' Considerably more than 4:3 surplus bulls were observed on St. George Island. The total for the 2 

 islands may, however, be considered as approximately correct. 



' The total for 1928 has not been altered to take care of adjustments made in 1929 to cover changes in 

 mortality rates of certain ages.
