cases several harems were of course consolidated. 
Mr. Townsend made an enumeration of a portion of Lukannon rookery 
on July 12, and found 1,940 cows. The portion of this rookery on which 
he made no enumeration is sixteen one-hundredths of the total area of 
Ketavie and Lukannon, and it is necessary, therefore, to add 732 cows 
in making up the total for the two rookeries, which will then be 5,312 
cows. 
On July 11 I counted the cows on that portion of Tolstoi rookery

This portion of Tolstoi rookery is only a small part of the whole area, 
and the enumeration is chiefly valuable as a basis for ascertaining the 
average size of harems and for forming an estimate for the whole area,
