A cenus of the seals resorting to the Pribilof islands has been taken by the resident officials of the United States bureau of fisheries. The first part was made at the height of the harem formation in July. From the preliminary figures that have been received by wireless messages 1t ap- pears that the number of harems on St. Paul island this season was 1.7S9. against 136 in 1914. an increase of 35 per cent: while on St. George isi- and. the number of harems increased from PAS in 1914 to 362. or 49 per cent. Tho number of idle bulls on St. Paul island this year was 546 and on St George island 127. making an total for both islands of 673, an increase of sol over 1914.
 The second count made early last August was addressed to the pups. The number of pups born this year

The number of dead pups found was 1910 or IT per cent indicating no abnormal mortality among either the pups or their moth ers. The average number of cows per harem this year calculated by dividing the total number of pups born (equi' valent to the number of breeding cows) by the total number of harems was 4s.
