 Without in any way M"e>tionin»,' tin" ronlts of the investiKUtion, it may he pointed 
 out that thcM' n>ults do not n<(es>arily have niueli hiMirinjr <mi the sea-lion (|Uestion

 rookery at .\mo Nucvo or even from that at the Farallones may pay visits to that 
 
 region. On (I ther hand, at that time the California sea-lion was f.iund in larfre 
 
 numhors around Santa Cruz island, a short distance north of Monterey, and at mai'ir
