U06 MIGRATION OF HERD. 



I visit all the islands and inlets around Chatham Sound in following 

 my occupation of making oil from the herring 

 Toodays Charlie, p. 249. which I catch. Have never seen a fur-seal in 

 the inland waters in my life; nor did I ever hear 

 of any being in the inland waters. * * * Had any fur-seal hauled 

 up it would have become known to the Indians and I would have heard 

 it; fori sell oil to all the tribes of Indians in southeastern Alaska, and 

 they would have told me had they ever known or heard of there being 

 a fur-seal rookery at any place along the coast- 

 Have killed mostly pups in the fall of tlie year, driven in by the se- 

 vere weather outside; never have seen any fur- 

 Twongkwak, p. 2IG. seal haul np on the land nor have I ever heard 

 of any seal hauling up on the land. 



John Tysum, p. 394. Seals do not haul out upon the land along the 



coast and give birth to their young. 



Have never known or heard of seal hauling up on the land on the coast 

 of Alaska : have heard that they do haul up on the 

 Jas. Unatajim, p. 272. Pribilof Islands. 



I have never seen any fur-seal hauled up on the rocks anywhere on 



the coast of this part of Alaska. I have never 



George Usher, p. 291. seen any fur-seal anywhere around Annette Island. 



He has never seen or heard of seals inside Barclay Sound. They are 



all found outside. * * * He has never heard 



Francis Verbeke,p. 311. °f seal breeding here and has never seen any seal. 



Witness states that he is the only white resident 



of village. 



Have never known any seal to haul up on the land or on the coast 

 of Alaska. Have heard that they do haul up on 

 Charlie Wank, p. 273. the Pribilof Islands. 



I annually visit nearly all the settlements in this region, and many 

 of the uninhabited islands, and have never seen, 



M.L. Washbum,p. 188. and in conversation with the various tribes of na- 

 tives have never heard of fur-seals hauling on 

 shore of the mainlands or the islands in this district, either for breed- 

 ing or temporary resting place, since my residence in Alaska, and in 

 only one case have I heard of a young pup fur-seal being found in the 

 waters of this district, A single pup sea! was found last year near 

 Marnot Island by a hunter who had been for years engaged in hunting 

 and this was the only case that had ever come to his knowledge. And I 

 would say in this connection that all the small islands are visited dur- 

 ing the summer by native hunting parties, and they informed me that 

 they never had found any fur-seals on shore, 



Watkins, j>. 395. I do not know of any place alone the coast here 



the seals haul out upon the land and give birth 

 to their young.
