. The fur seals and fur-seal islands of the North Pacific ocean. Sealing; Seals (Animals). FUR SEALS OF GUADALUPE, GALAPAGOS, AND LOBOS ISLANLS. 267 Guadalupe Island is thoroughly volcanic and has volcanic caves and holes along nearly every paile of its shore line, which were the favorite resorts of fur seals. Seal hunters finding them tightly packed in these places, killed them with guns and clubs. Frequently they were killed in caves so dark that their eyes were the only target to fire at, while at other times candles were used to disclose their hiding places. Young and old alike were taken. The young appear to have been brought forth in June and July and the species was present upon the island throughout the year. Its fur was worth about half that of the Northern far seal, as taken on the Pribilof Islands, being worth about $15. At the northwest side of Guadalupe, on May 23, 1892, we found " Sea Elephant" beach, a locality formerly frequented by elephant seals. This is one of the three sand beaches on the island. The others are at Jacks Bay, a few miles farther south, and at the village on the opposite side. At "Sea Elephant" beach we found 6 sea elephants sleeping near high water mark, which we shot. They were very slow in their motions and made scarcely any effort to get away. While we were skinning these, 2 others hauled out where we were working.

It came and went several times during the afternoon and we frequently had our hands on it without its assuming any threatening atti- tudes. With the proper facilities it could have been taken alive. In the meantime a heavy surf made it im- possible to launch the boat, while the lofty cliffs not only prevented our ascent to the plateau of the island, but, extending into the sea on either side, imprisoned us on the beach, where we were without water or food. After repeated attempts we made our escape to the schoone
