During this summer several iiltcr-

building have occurled here, when
birds from various sections of the
country were forced to come down
because of exhaustion or hunger. The.
homes of the birds \vurc determined
by the numbers Oil the bands on their
legs. In some cases they were pigeons
and in others they were migratory
game birds.

Many birds have been liberated at
the bird sanctuary at Fail-field after
having been banded. Reports on these
birds are looked for although it might:
be years before anything is heard of
them.

Dr. Alfred 0. Goss, well-known as
an ornithologist, has reported that re-
cently he banded 20 Leach's Petrels
on an island in Maine. "I feel that
the petral series may be of great
value, for I have marked all the bor-
rows from which I secured birds of
banding." the doctor said. He' expects
to make subsequent visits for life
