MR. GEEELEY'S notes.

 tapeworms, but no Uncinaria. One bachelor, 4 fei-t 3i inches long, had following 

 dimensions of alimentary canal:

AUGUST 3. 



Mr. Maconn and myself made a count of dead pujis on Kitovi rookery, finding 

 12(j in all. Tliis is an increase over last year. I wa.s not present at the count in 1890, 

 but Mr. Macouu, who made the count with Dr. Jordan, says that the part before 

 reaching Kitovi Point was not closely inspected last year, the count being made from 

 the outside and not many dead being found. On this si)ace 28 dead pups were found 

 to day. 



In all our counts of this year we are slightly at a disadvantage on the score of 

 increased accuracy. 



The bulls are this morning much more easily managed. A few are still stubborn, 

 but most move off readily. The number of young bulls has increased since yesterday. 

 Doubtless many of the old bulls have not returned. 



A young gray bull was seen with a stream of pus running down his shoulder and 

 over his tlii)per. His exertions have broken the festering in an old wound. 



A number of dead bodies fresh enough for dissection were turned over to Mr. 

 Lucas and found to contain Uncinaria. 



Ten old bulls were driven up from Zoltoi sands and shot, their skins to be taken 

 as museum specimens.

CENSUS OF 1897. 



The results of the above counts show that in last years correction for absent cows 

 they were largely underestimated. In completing our census for 1897 we may take 

 the average harem of Kitovi, found by dividing the total number of pups by the
