Aug. 12. 1895
Kelaire Sta. 14. Clear sunny day.

  70 cows to 400 pups.  Rookery looks deserted. Fam. no. 1 has about 2 cows. Fam. 2 has 12 cows.  There are a few cows again on the Neck this morning.  On the rocky pt. & rocky island are a considerable number of cows with pups.  The upper stations on the hillside are deserted.  There are no bulls above the line of the base of the cairn cliff & no cows except a very few in crevices of the bluff.
   The same is true of the hillside north of the cairn bluff.
   Saw a cow void excrement.
   There are only 4 bulls
