NORTH ROOKERY IN 1895. 



141 



I submit tlie following table of the skins taken in each drive during the summer 

 season: 



Total niimter of shim taken on north rooTcerg, Bering Island, duriny the summer season of 1895 



It may be interesting in this connection to present a corresponding table for the 

 same previous years to show the dates and size of the drives. The following ones 

 are taken from Venning's report (pp. 15-18) : 



Number of shins tahen on north roohery, Bering Island, during the summer season of 1891. 



Number of shins tahen on north roohery, Bering Island, during a part of the summer season of 189S. 



aThis table is incomplete, as the total number of skins taken on this rookery in 1892 was over 16,000. The 1,500 

 additional seals were probably killed after August 20. 



Number of shins tahen on north rookery, Bering Island, during the summer season of 1893.
