Partridges, and numerous coveys of Quail. Pheasants are to be introduced 

 from the State Game Reservation. There are many varieties of song-birds, 

 including Cardinals. Said reservation is 15 miles from the city of Jackson, 

 where the Jackson County Audubon Society has its home. One of its successful 

 ventures has been the establishing of a cat ordinance, whereby all cats must 

 wear a tag and pay a license fee besides staying in the house at night. — (Miss) 

 Jennie Lovan Green, Secretary. 



Johnstown (N. Y.) Burroughs Nature-Study Club. — Our program for the 

 year was marked by a departure from the usual order of papers and readings 

 by the members. Four of the meetings were given over to illustrated lectures 

 on subjects of interest to nature-lovers and were as follows: 'Through the 

 Wilds of Canada in a Canoe,' by John T. D. Blackburn, of Albany, N. Y.; 

 'Adirondack Forests,' by Clifford R. Pettis, State Superintendent of Forests; 

 'Wild Life in the Adirondacks, ' by Clinton G. Abbott, Editor of The Conser- 

 calionisl; and 'Adirondack Wild Flowers,' by Homer D. House, State Botanist. 

 In order that the privilege of attending these lectures might be freely shared 

 by others, the use of the Colonial Club ballroom was given for the purpose. 

 The numbers who availed themselves of this opportunity and the enthusiasm 

 displayed made it evident that no more effective means of arousing widespread 

 interest in the conservation of our wild life could have been devised. — (Miss) 

 Margaret E. Raymond, Secretary. 



Los Angeles (Calif.) Audubon Society. — This Society, with a membership 

 of 162, has had a very favorable year. \n June, 1920, there was dedicated, with 

 impressive ceremonies, Griffith Park, second largest park in the United States, 

 covering 3,400 acres, as a bird sanctuary. The specimen of India's world- 

 famous Cedrus deodora, or Himalayan cedar, planted on Arbor Day in honor of 

 the sailor and soldier boys represented on the Society's service flag, has been 

 recorded in American Forestry Association's Honor Roll of Memorial Trees. 

 Our speakers have worked among the clubs, schools, and church societies, 

 illustrating their talks with bird-skins and slides. We have assisted the State 

 Fish and Game Commission in some of its legislative efforts. 



Our Educational Chairman, Mrs. G. H. Schneider, has presented to the 

 Society, at its indoor meetings, lists of the migratory birds to be seen in this 

 locality at that time. She also sends migratory bird data of Los Angeles and 

 vicinity to each issue of Bird-Lore. Mrs. C. H. Hall, Chairman of Birds and 

 Wild Life, was the originator of the Audubon trail trips which are primarily 

 for teachers, tourists, and beginners. It is through this channel that new 

 interest is created and our membership increased. Trail trips to the number 

 of 136 have been taken this year, with a list of 187 species of land-birds and 

 93 species of water-birds, and a total of 86,290 individual birds. This report is 

 entirely independent of the regular monthly field-day trij)s. All dead birds
