end of each local list concerning the new or interesting 
points contained in it. The first list in the bulletin includes 
all the birds which are known to occur in ‘the state, and 
immediately following it a hypothetical list will be found. 
Particular attention is called to the former list because it 
contains an account of the food and nesting habits of the 
various families and should furnish valuable information to 
anyone who cares to learn what any particular bird feeds 
upon. Finally it is hoped that this bulletin will succeed in 
calling the attention of citizens of the state to the value of 
the birds and thereby arouse a sentiment which will lead to 
their better protection, not necessarily through law, but 
through a kindlier feeling of appreciation. 
RECOM MENDATIONS. 
The laws of the state are good and are quite sufficient 
if enforced. Lawless people should be made to feel inse- 
cure when they violate the statute quoted below. Public 
sentiment is a good thing to make a law a living force. 
Little can be accomplished by multiplying laws, but a 
great deal can be done to attract birds to the home. Birds 
do not like to stay where cats are numerous. ‘They will go 
where food and water are to be had and where there are 
trees suitable for shelter and nesting.
