Bullet, Pitted: This ammunition is pitted with a pattern of small pocks into which specially formulated poison compounds can be applied.

Craft (poison) here should be Craft (alchemy), shouldn't it? I can't find another reference to Craft (poison) anywhere else in Pathfinder.

I think that there may actually be a Craft (Poison) if you only wanted to do poisons, but yes, Craft (Alchemy) also allows you to create poisons and it is much more universally recognized so that would probably make a lot more sense.

My apologies, I wasn't very clear. I believe that Craft (poison) in this instance is simply a mistake since it appears that this particular Craft skill has otherwise been completely scrubbed from the Pathfinder RPG.

I agree with you, but I was saying that there might be another vague reference to Craft (Poison) floating in the rules somewhere.
