In the 



season or 1896 the h.aulmo; grounds felt the benehcial etieits ot xi\f moiuis I'lnc/iia oi i»a.5. .">o pups starved to death in 

 that season and the result was a larger i)n»portiou of survivors. A part, also, of the seals which the limited operations 

 of 1S95 failed to secure were doubtless t;iktn into the quota of 1896. 



■^The quota of 1897 was left iiid.-liTiile under the direction of the commission, and the driving was planned with a view 

 to making the ijuota represent the lull product of tlie hauling grounds. For the same reason the killing was continued 

 into August. 



^This total, as well as that for St. tfeorge Island following, does not include such seals as may have been killed for 

 food in the fall of the year 1897.
