Bismarck, Apr. 15, 1904. 
Itisa matter of no little pleasure that the Depart- 
ment of Public Instruction is able to give publicity to the 
following list of North Dakota birds compiled by our friend, 
Superintendent C. C. Schmidt, of Jamestown. Mr. Schmidt 
is an enthusiastic lover of nature and has in many ways given 
an impulse to nature study among the teachers of this state 
and we are sure that this last work of his, will result in stim- 
ulating a more active interest in bird study among the teach- 
ers and pupils of North Dakota. We are sure that all lovers 
of birds will gladly welcome this list. It can be had by ap- 
plying to the department. 
W. L. STOCKWELL, 
Superintendent.
