Indian Hunters. 



Nos. 1 to 7, all from evidence personally obtained. 



C28. A certain proportion of the seals shot of course escape, and in 

 killing on the islands each year, some are found with encysted shot in 

 the skin or blubber. A few ounces of shot thus obtained was shown 

 to us on the Pribyloff Islands as that collected from seals killed in 1890. 

 This aggregated much less than ^ lb., but placing the amount at 8 ozs., 

 this would give, at 150 pellets to the lb., seventy-five shot gathered 

 from lil,000 seals killed, or at the rate of one pellet to 280 seals. As in 

 most cases several iiellets might be found in a single seal, while in other 

 cases shot might be present but not found in skinning and cutting up
