INVESTIGATION OF THE FUE-SEAL INDUSTRY OF ALASKA. 609 



Mr. Lembkey. It amounts to a statement of the weight for each 

 skin. I am certain this statement contains matter that is not printed 

 there, because I have inserted opposite each skin the weight of that 

 skin as taken on the second salt weighing. I should say that it is 

 the same as the one you have heretofore printed, with the exception 

 that the table already printed does not contain this additional 

 column of weights taken at the second salt weighing. 



Mr. Stephens. I suggest we just have printed what has been added 

 to the table. We will be stultifying ourselves by reproducing so 

 many of the same things. 



Mr. Watkins. It seems to me for the sake of this witness's testi- 

 mony, it should go in in its entirety. 



Mr. Patton. This is a comparison of two different weighings that 

 he wants to put in the record. 



Mr. Lembkey. The comparison is the more valuable part of the 

 matter. 



The Chairman. And this is the only thing you ask to have printed 

 about that report, is it? 



Mr. Lembkey. That is all. 



The Chairman. I think we ought to let it go in. It will be printed 

 in the hearings at this point. 



(The table referred to is as follows:) 



Weights oj 50 fur-seal shins tagged with copper tags bearing consecutive numbers, before 



and after salting. 



[Food killing October 19, 1911, St. Paul Island, Alaska. Skinned as usual at food killings and with a 

 moderate or average amount of moisture. Weights include metal tag with wire, averaging 0.21 ounces 

 each.]
