If there were, indeed, otters at Santa Catalina Island as late as 1917, it may safely be assumed that this relict aggregate was harrassed into extinction, as enforcement in the insular area was difficult at that time. Kenyon (1969) reported that a remnant population at San Benito Islands, Baja California, was hunted to extinction in 1919, and that a small population at Queen Charlotte Islands, British Columbia, was extirpated by hunters in 1920. Thus the remnant.
