Scific coast at certain seasons II 1t
wanted to avoid destructive collisions
with the California grayback whale.
And If the skipper trained his glass
along the coast line, he probably
would see every exposed rock or sea-
ward shoal black with elephant and
fur seals. Closer in he would note
great tortoises n sea turtles, while
above would wheel the Hermann
gull.
Such an orgy Of destruction has
been loosed Jon these sea creatures,
some of them termed by scientists to
be "the biggest animals in the1world,"
in the last half century, that there is

countries bordering on the Pacific to
prevent their absolute determination.

When the news OF the, discovery of

that by 1854, only ,13 years after its

Exterminate Fur Seal.
One hundred years ago, the COM
mittee points out, a species of fur seal
had extensive breeding rookeries on
the Farallon islands and other islands
on the coast Nine of California and
Mexico. More than 100000 Of these
seal were. killed in the short period
between 1903 and 1871 on the Faral-
ons alone, while thousands of others
: were added to the slaughter on the
channel islands. to the southwark.
This campaign virtually exterminated
this species of seal.
