‘In this year more normal driving was permitted, but the increased quota is not wholly due to this fact. In the 
season of 1896 the hauling grounds felt the beneficial effects of the modus vivendi of 1893. No pups starved to death in 
that season and the result was a larger proportion of survivors. A part, also, of the seals which the limited operations 
of 1895 tailed to secure were doubtless taken into the quota of 1896. 
2 The quota of 1897 was left indefinite under the direction of the commission, and the driving was planned with a view © 
to making the quota represent the full product of the hauling grounds. For the same reason the killing was continued 
into August. 
3 This total, a8 well as that for St. George Island following, does not include such seals us may have been killed for 
food in the fall of the year 1897.
