DIRECTORY OF STATE OFFICIALS AM) ORGANIZATIONS CONCERNED WITH THE PROTECTION OF BIRDS AND GAME, 1904.

The following directory of officials and organizations concerned with the protection of birds and game in the United States and Canada has been revised to August 15, 1904. It has been arranged on the same plan as the directories issued each year since 1900, with the addresses grouped under four headings — State Officials, National Organizations, State Organization^ and Audubon Societies. Organizations which have not been heard from during 1904 are marked with an asterisk (*).

The object of this directory is to present, in convenient form, the names of persons to whom application may be made for information respecting game laws. It also shows the date of establishment of each State commission or wardenship, the changes which occur in such offices, and the publications issued by game officials. As most of the present fish and game commissions originated as fish commissions, the year when each was established and that in which it assumed jurisdiction of game are given. If the warden work has been separated from fish cul¬ ture. or game protection made independent of fish and forest protection, merely, the date of establishment of the present office is given. The first State officials charged with preservation of game were apparently the ducking police of Maryland, appointed in 1872.

In 35 States the enforcement of game laws is entrusted to game com¬ missioners, wardens, or other State officers ; in 6 others — Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Nevada, and South Dakota — to county wardens; in Virginia to city and magisterial district wardens; and in others to sheriffs and similar local officers. Several national organiza¬ tions are interested in the protection of birds and game, of which three are really international. In addition, State associations and many local organizations cooperate in the work of protecting game in 28 States. One of these associations was organized in 1844, and 7 others were established more than twenty years ago. Similar organizations have been formed in Canada, of which one in Nova Scotia was estab¬ lished in 1853, and one in Quebec in 1859. Finally, 36 States have Audubon Societies, all established during the last eight years, especially for the study and protection of nongame birds.

Persons interested in game protection are requested to notify the Biological Survey of an}T errors or changes in addresses in order that necessary corrections may lie made in future editions of the directory.
