204 THE WILSON BULLETIN— Detember, 1921 



the pleasure of visiting the scene of operation at Gates Mill, Ohio, 

 and studying with Mr. Baldwin the actual operations. There is 

 no secret about it. Now that Mr. Baldwin has pointed the way 

 anyone with a fair knowledge of the bird species and an interest 

 in the work sufficient to continue it even when it may cause 

 some inconvenience, can do it and obtain fascinating results. 

 Even one trap is worth operating, but two or three will bring 

 more results. The traps are not expensive, and they will last your 

 lifetime if they are given reasonable care. The writer would like 

 to have north and south lines of bird banders established across 

 Ohio. One natural route would be the Cuyahoga and Muskingum 

 rivers line, another the Sandusky-Scioto rivers line, and still an- 

 other the Maumee-Miami rivers line. Then there ought also vo 

 be lines between these so that any lateral movements could be 

 detected. It is probably true that the largest returns would be 

 wholly local, but there would probably also be satisfactory re- 

 turns from other trapping and band operations in each line. Anv 

 persons who are intere.sted in this kind of work will find Mr. 

 Baldwin entirely willing to give such advice and directions as 

 will help the campaign along. Write him at the Wilhamson 

 Building, Cleveland, Ohio. L. J.
