INTRODUCTION 



This is the forty-second edition of the directory of organizations and 

 officials concerned with the protection of wildlife, including fishes. It 

 is designed to meet the needs of officials charged with the administra- 

 tion and enforcement of fish and game laws, and is also for the con- 

 venient use of persons desiring to communicate with officials and or- 

 ganizations concerning wildlife conditions in the several States and 

 Territories, the Canadian Provinces and Territories, Newfoundland, 

 Mexico, the West Indies, Central America, and South America. In- 

 cluding chiefly the organizations that are National or State-wide in 

 character, the directory follows the general form of previous editions.^ 



Details regarding the seasons for migratory game bird hunting and 

 restrictions thereon can be obtained from the Fish and Wildlife Service, 

 Chicago 54, 111. 



Persons contemplating hunting or fishing trips should also com- 

 municate with the appropriate State officials for information on State 

 laws or regulations. The fish and game laws of the several States and 

 Canadian Provinces can be obtained on request to the proper officials, 

 listed herein. 



Communications concerning violations of the Federal fish and game 

 laws and regulations should be addressed to the regional directors of 

 the Fish and Wildlife Service in the several areas, listed on page 3, or 

 to the Director, Fish and Wildfife Service, Chicago 54, III.
