APPENDIX TO COUNTER-CASE OP GREAT BRITAIN. 567 



E. Lorenz. — "Last year [1801] I got female seals in milk off Queen 

 Charlotte Islands in July. That makes me think there is a rookery 

 there. This year I saw old bulls ("wigs") off Coronation Island, and 

 there may be a rookery there." 



^Y. Shields. — " Three seasons ago I eanght seals off Kodiak Island 

 with n)illv in their breasts, but with no imps in their wombs. I thought 

 at the time that there must be a rookery asliore somewhere, and 8i)oko 

 of it at the time. I took two one day that were this way; this was 

 about last of June." 



Joseph Broi.cn. — "When hunting off' Kadiak, five years ago, I saw 

 females in milk in May. They had dropped their pups somewliere — on 

 Kadiak, i suppose." 



Geonjc Dishow. — "In Behring Sea I never got any cows with young. 

 A few cows tliere would be in milk." 



Otto Buchholz. — "In 1890 I sealed in Behring Sea in July. I got a 

 few female seals in milk. We sealed 35 to 50 miles from the Pribyloff 

 Islands." 



0. 0. Oerorv. — "I have found all along Queen Charlotte Islands 

 females in milk who had dropi)ed their ])ups. The most I ever saw was 

 when on the "Triumph" four years ago; in June we got seventy or 

 more females in milk that had dropped their young."

 voyage over. We sailed about 100 miles south of the nearest land on 

 the Aleutian Islands." 



Captain Abel Douglas. — "I have gone into Behring Sea through the 

 172nd Pass and seen seals there, both inside and outside the pass. I

 grounds this year [1802] about 21st September, and reached Victoria

 We ran out of theni about Queen Charlotte Islands."
