The slide on Ardigaen looks deserted, and while there are pups and cows at the 

 top, the bottom part is completely empty. 



A cow comes in on Lukaniu with a spear through her back just over the pelvis. 

 One spearhead has penetrated the body while the second is dragged after her. The 

 cow was killed. 



Mr. Greeley reports that Uncinaria examined under the microscope still contain 

 many eggs, which are apparently growing larger and riper.

Professor Thompson and I made a count ' this morning of Zapadni Eeef, finding 

 2,687. 



Mr. Greeley reports that deaths from Uncinaria are decreasing rapidly. In the 

 rocky end of Gorbatch where 20 dead pups from this cause were found two weeks ago, 

 only 1 could be found to-day. Many starving pups are to be seen.

MB. LUCAS'S NOTES. 



In the whole length of Tolstoi I find only 1 ftesh dead pup and 1 dying of 

 uncinaria. There are ipaaiy starving pups. Of the large number of dead pups here, 

 almost without exception all are long dead. There are 7 dead pups on Tolstoi.

 Summary of all dissections on St. George, 



starred paps 84} per cent of total nnmber dissected. 



' The widely divergent results reached in this recount from the one on Kitovi makes it impossible 

 in the very nature of things to accept both, and it is probable that both are less accurate than the 

 original counts. The count of Clark and Macoun gave 3,041 to this rookery.
