(Count) 49 Stellers, 160 Cali- fornias. This mixed rookery, on Whaler Rock, about one-eighth of a mile from shore, is the northern breeding rookery of the Californias. I could not land on the rock and from shore I could not see pups but I could hear them squalling. The Californias, as usual, were in the sheltered coves, the Stellers out in the open. Ano Nuevo.

Photograph by Paul Bonnot, July 2, 1928. This rookery is larger and more prosperous than it has been for years. The adult population has greatly increased, due, no doubt, to an influx from smaller rookeries up and down the coast, which have been shot up extensively during the last year. Pups were numerous (estimate 1200) and there were very few dead ones. The big bulls were scarce on the day of my visit but the light keeper told me that at least one-third of the large harem bulls had already left. Farallon Islands, July 11, 1930. (Estimate and count) 900 Stel- lers, 28 Californias. The Farallon Island rookery is slightly larger than it was two years ago. The Californias here were all small yearling cows. There were no California pups. I saw only one small California half bull at some distance from the cows. Cape Mendocino, July 17, 1930. (Estimate.) 1000 Stellers. In numbers the Cape Mendocino rookery is a little larger this year than formerly. The number of pups have not increased appreciably. The trimming hunters who have worked here for several years were hunting as usual. They killed 92 bulls (6 lost and 86 recovered). They were about through for the season. Several of the smaller hauling grounds have been omitted in thi
