436 EXTINCT AND VANISHING MAMMALS It is believed that it was this fur seal that formerly was abundant at Tristan da Cunha and the neighboring islands. This group was first "visited for fur seals in 1790 by Captain Patten, of the American schooner Industry, of Philadelphia, who secured 5, 000 skins. Large numbers are said to have been subsequently obtained there, probably from the smaller islands of the group, Inaccessible and Nightingale Islands. The latter is apparently still frequented by a f...ew fur seals. Gough Island, somewhat to the southward of the Tristan group, formerly abounded with fur seals " (J. A. Allen, in Jordan and others, 1899); but according to Capt. George Comer there were practically none left by 1887, when his vessel put six men ashore there for nine months. They were able to secure only 40 or 50 skins. Nevertheless "odd specimens were killed in the Tristan group up to 1920, but now appear to have been ex- terminated" (Shortridge, 1934).
Whether the fur seal of the Crozet Islands was the same as the South African form or more resembled that of Kerguelen Island does not seem to have been determined.
