WEIGHTS OF SEALSKINS TAKEN. 



Of the 9,558 sealskins shipped from St. Paul, 9,285 appear in the 

 following table. All skins taken were weighed, with the exception of 

 162, represented by the 4 taken from prisoners, 2 found in the bidarra 

 after last year's shipment, 53 taken by watchmen for food, and 103 

 taken this spring on Sea Lion Rock after Agent Chichester's death 

 and before the arrival of the supply ship. The weights of the remain- 

 ing 111 skins not appearing in the table were omitted inadvertently 

 while being recorded at the salt house and transcribed into the office 

 record. 



On St. George all skins taken were weighed and the weights are 

 given in the subjoined table.
