LANDS ONLY ON PRIBILOF ISLANDS. 189 



among the Alaskan Indians, half-breeds, Aleuts, and fur-traders along 

 the northwest coast and Aleutian Islands. One man. who had been a 

 trapper for many years along the coast, stated to me that in all his ex 

 perience he never knew of but one case where seals had hauled out on 

 the Pacific coast, and that was when four or five landed on Queen < !har- 

 lotte Island. This is the only case I ever heard of seals coining ashore 

 on the American side of the Pacific except the Pribilof Islands. 



I never saw or heard of any fur-seal rookeries in these (Bristol Bay, 

 Aleutian Islands, and from Kadiak Island to 



Prince William Land) regions, except those on the Carlos G. Calkins, p. 105. 

 seal islands of Bering Sea. Neither have I ever 

 seen any fur-seals in abundance save on or near said seal islands. 



Have never known seal to haul up anywhere Charles Campbell, p. 256. 

 outside of the Pribilof Islands. 



I have never known of seals hauling out on land Jaa. L. Cartheut, p. 409. 

 anywhere on the coast except at the Pribilof 

 Islands. 



I do not know of any place where the seals haul Charles chaiiall,p. 411. 

 up on this coast except on the seal islands. 



We all have an intimate knowledge of the coast of Alaska from 

 Kadiak to Unalaska, and know of no fur-seal _ .,.,„.,. „ . , 

 rookeries other than those on the seal islands of p r ™ lh ^^offetai., 

 Bering Sea. 



Have never known of any seals hauling up on s. ChinJcoo-tin,p. 257. 

 the land on this coast elsewhere than on the Pribi- 

 lof Islands. 



Q. Do you know of any place where seals land, Daniel Claussen, p. 412. 

 outside of the seal islands? — A. I do not. 



Have never known or heard of fur-seals hauling John C. Clements, p. 258. 

 up on the land on this coast elsewhere than the 

 Pribilof Islands. 



I do not know of and have never heard of fur- M. Cohen, p. 225. 

 seals landing at any point but the seal islands of 

 Bering Sea. 



Mother seals pregnant are more easily caught than young bachelors, 

 and I am sure it is necessary for them to go on 

 land to breed, and I have never heard of them p e ter Collin*, p. tl3. 

 going anywhere else than on the seal islands for 

 that purpose. 



On my cruise to St. Matthews and Unamak Island, we did not dis- 

 cover any seal within 25 or 30 miles of those is- 

 lands, nor do I know of or believe that the seals jy. c. Coulson,p.il6, 

 haul out upon laud in any of the American waters 

 of Bering Sea, except at the Pribilof Islands.
