The date of the first publication of this notice is Five Game Reservations. Washington, D. C, Dec. 21. (Special) 'Five big-game preserves and 67 bird reservations are main tained by the biological survey of the United States department of agricul ture. The mammal reservations in clude the Montana Bison range, the Wind Cave game preserve in South Dakota, the Niobrara reservation in Nebraska, the Elk Refuge in Wyom ing, and the Sully Hills game pre serve in North Dakota. The Niobrara reservation was intended as a bird reserve, but has been stocked with big game and is at present maintain ed chiefly for buffalo and elk, accord ing to the annual report of the chief of the biological survey, just issued. In the first three reservations men tioned the herds of buffalo have shown a notable increase since their tstablishment a few years ago, says the renort, and now include 207 head. lor more than a third of all the buf falo which now belong to the govern j ment. The elk number about 160 and i the antelope 40, making a totai of about 400 head of big game. I The number of bird reservations I was increased during the year by the addition of the Big Lake reservation in Arkansas. Sixty-seven reserva tions are now maintained primarily tor birds, ihe report urges the im portance and necessity of retaining as breeding grounds for water fowl and other birds, tracts of land which are not especially valuable for agricul tural purposes. The area of maisli land necessary for breeding grounds is insignificant, it is said, in com parison with the benefits which will accrue to the pubic through the in crease in our supply of game birds.
