Peter Collins, p. 413. Fully three-fourths of the seals shot in the 



North Pacific were females with young. 



We sailed up along the coast toward Bering Sea and captured five 



seals, all being gravid females. I noticed these

them. I kept a memorandum of the transactions 



of the voyage, and noted in my book the number of seals taken and 



their sex. 



Majority of seals taken are cows with pup. Once in a while we

From 75 per cent to 80 per cent of all the seals taken were mothers 

 in young, and when cut open on deck we found

We had between 1 00 and 300 seals before enter-

 pups in them. 



Of the seals that were caught off the coast fully 90 out of every 100 

 had young pups in them. The boats would bring

 take the young pups out and skin them. If the 

 pup is a good, nice one, we would skin it and keep it for ourselves. I 

 had eight such skins myself. Four out of five, if caught in May or June, 

 would be alive when we cut them out of the mothers. One of them we 

 kept forpietty near three weeks alive on deck by feeding it on con- 

 densed milk. One of the men finally killed it because it cried so pitifully. 



In all of my experience in sealing on this coast I have killed but one 

 cow seal that had milk in her breast, and that had 

 Frank Davis, p. 383. given birth to her pup. I do not know what be- 

 came of the pup. I have killed a very few barren 

 cows along the coast. Nearly all of the full grown cows along the coast 

 have pups in them. 



Most of the seals caught on the coast are females with pups in

 taken out of its mother and kept alive for three 

 or four days. We sealed from 10 to 120 miles off the coast. 



A large proportion of all seals taken are females with pup. A very
