DIVISION OF BIOLOGICAL SURVEY—Circular No 35
DIRECTORY OF STATE OFFICIALS AND ORGANIZATIONS CONCERNED
WITH THE PROTECTION OF BIRDS AND GAME, 1902
The following directory of officials and organizations concerned
with the protection of birds and game in the United States and
Canada was originally published in the Yearbook for 1890, and sub¬
sequently as Circular No. 28. In 1901 it was revised for the Year¬
book for 1900 and issued separately as Circular No. 33. In the
enforcement of the Act of Congress approved May 25, 1900, many
questions arise respecting State game laws, open seasons, and simi¬
lar matters, and it is important that wardens, sportsmen, shippers,
and commission merchants should know the addresses of State offi¬
cials and other persons from whom information may be obtained
concerning local regulations. The present directory has been
arranged on the same plan as those heretofore issued, and has been
revised to April 1, 1902. The addresses are grouped under four
headings—State Officials, National Organizations, State Organiza¬
tions, and Audubon Societies.
In 31 States the enforcement of game laws is entrusted to game
commissioners, wardens, or other State officers; in 4 others—Florida,
Nevada, New Mexico, and South Dakota—to county wardens; and
in several others merely to sheriffs and similar local officers. Eight
national organizations are interested in the protection of birds and
game. Three of these are really international: The International
Fish and Game Association; the League of American Sportsmen,
which has organized divisions in 42 States and in Ontario, Canada;
and the North American Fish and Game Protective Association,
which covers eastern Canada and the adjacent parts of the United
States. In addition to these organizations of National scope, State
associations cooperate with the officials 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 Quebec
has been in existence since 1859. Finally 27 States have Audubon
Societies all organized during the last six years, especially for the
protection of nongame birds.
Correspondents and all other persons interested are requested to
notify the Biological Survey of omissions, errors, or changes in
addresses, so that future editions of the directory may be made as
accurate and complete as possible.
