Note: The detailed e;itclies of the American and Canadian aealing Meets for tlio period 18!t|-l.^(l7 

 are here given to illustrate the al>senee of benelieial elfeet from the regulations nf the I'aris Award 

 under whieh the pelajfic sealing industry has heen eouducted since 1894, and incidentally to show llio
