*The figures given under this caption include the number and value of fur-seal skins taken at the 
Pribilof Islands, in Bering Sea, which are a product of a fishery carried on by San Francisco capital. 
In 1888 the full limit of 100,000 skins was obtained at those islands, the value of which, as laid down at 
London, where they were sold, was estimated to be $1,550,000. In addition to the foregoing, the fur- 
seal industry of the Commander Islands (which belong to Russia) was controlled by American capital 
and the product was brought to Sau Francisco. In 1888 this amounted to 47,362 skins of fur seals, 
having a value of $544,663 at the average price paid in London. Combining these figures we have as 
the total yield of the fur-seal industry in 1888, 151,817 pelts, valued at $2,121,393.
