PrintThese original photographs mounted on board and with captions pertain to Stejneger's extensive study of the fur seals of the North Pacific-Bering Sea area.

Some or all of these images may be published. Many of the photographs are dated July 1895. A contemporary print of one of the original photos and a pencil sketch by Stejneger dated July 30, 1882 are also included.
