before our eyes; but if a pup has perished from trampling or if a 

 cow has been kiUed by the fighting of buUs, we are unable to see it. 

 It certainly is not in evidence to-day, and it never was in evidence in 

 1874 or 1890. The habits of these animals certainly have not been

Review from the summit of Ketavie rock. — The entire field occupied 

 by breeding seals on this rookery in 1874, and with the exception of a 

 small fringe of pocket harems which we have noted on the surf 

 margin of the rookery— this entire field of 1890 is abandoned by seals.
