and of the collector of customs of Jolo, respectively. There 

 were fifty-seven licenses in force in the district of the treasurer 

 of Jolo and sixty-one pearling boats operating according to the 

 list of the collector of customs. Boats were recorded on each 

 list which were not on the other ; that of the collector of customs 

 contained the names of ten boats not on the treasurer's list. 

 After comparing all available official records, actually counting 

 as many of the boats as possible, eliminating wrecked boats and 

 those having only dead licenses, and including seven boats operat- 

 ing under licenses issued at Zamboanga, I have prepared the 

 following list of seventy-three boats which represents the entire 

 pearling fleet :
