202 MIGRATION OF HERD. 



I am familiar with all the bays and inlets on the west coast of Van- 

 couver Island. 1 do not know of any place along 

 Moses, p.309. the coast where seals haul out upon the land and 



give birth to their young: nor have 1 heard the 

 Indians on the Vancouver Island talk about any such a thing. 



I have visited all the islands between here and Sitka and in other 



parts of the sound, and have never seen any fur- 



Billy NaU-Uoo, p. 252. seal in the waters in my life. Fever heard of any 



fur-seal pup being born in the water, nor have 



I heard of any fur-seal hauling up on the land or islands in southeastern 



Alaska or anywhere else. Had pups been born in the water or seals 



hauled up on the land on any part of the coast it would certainly be 



known to the Indians and I would have heard of it. 



I have never known any pups to be born in the water or on the land 

 anywhere around this part of Alaska or in British 



Nashton, p. 298. Columbia. Have never known any fur-seal to haul 



up on the land anywhere in British Columbia or 

 Alaska.

land anywhere in British Columbia or Alaska.

land anywhere in Alaska or British Columbia, or 

 ou Queen Charlotte Islands. 



Have never known any fur-seal to be hauled up on the coast of 



Alaska from ley Bay to Wrangel. I have been 



NecUantake, p. 240. up and down between those places many times. 



* * * Have never seen any fur-seals in the 



sounds or inlets between this place and Wrangel at any time of year. 



In early days a few pups used to be driven into this bay in the winter 



by the storms on the coast. 



I have never heard of or seen any seal hauled up on the coast of Alaska 

 anywhere. Have never even seen any fur-seal in

 inland waters.

waters ot this part oi Alaska. 



I have sealed all along the coast, from the mouth of the Columbia 

 River to the passes leading into the Bering Sea, 



Osly, p. 390. and do not know 7 of any place on the coast where 



seals haul out upon the land. 



I have sealed in that manner all the way along the coast from the 

 Columbia River to the upper end of the Van- 



Wilson Parker, p. 392. corner Island and have never seen a place along 

 there where the seals hauled out upon the land.
