PRODUCTS. 
The total quantity of products secured was 178,358,301 pounds, 
valued at $10,160,183, a gain of 10,949,848 pounds and $1,089,093 
over 1906. Except for fertilizer, oil, furs, and skins, the weights 
shown are round weights, or the weight of products when first taken 
from the water. The weights of prepared products are shown in the 
subsidiary tables of the report. Smelt appear in the table for the 
first time this year. Whalebone and walrus ivory, teeth, hides, and 
heads are the only products reported from arctic Alaska. As has 
been stated in previous reports, it was found an impossibility to 
secure even approximate data as to the persons engaged or the 
investment in the hunting of aquatic animals (except sea otter and 
fur seals), which is general among the natives.
