THE USE BOOK. 149 



Forest rangers and guards may be ft^jgnprL to the 

 work of hunting predatory animals for a. limited time 

 each year, and will be furnished with necessary ammu- 

 nition, poisons, and traps. If none is sufficiently ex- 

 perienced or can be spared for the work, professional 

 hunters may be recommended for appointment as 

 guards for such period as their services are required. 



Supervisors upon whose Forests rangers or guards are em- 

 ployed as hunters will submit a monthly report to the Forester 

 showing the work accomplished during the preceding month 

 in the extermination of predatory animals. This report should 

 be a summary of the hunter's daily-service reports filed in the 

 supervisor's office. It should be prepared in duplicate by the 

 hunter, who will send both copies to the supervisor, with his 

 service report, at the end of each month. The supervisor will 

 retain one copy and send the other to the Forester. In this re- 

 port the number of animals of each kind killed should be stated ; 

 also the manner in which they were killed, whether by trap, 

 gun, poison, or dogs, and any other information which may be 

 of interest. 



Predatory animals killed by Forest officers other than hunters 

 or on Fores! where hunters are not employed, will be reported 

 by them in their daily-service reports, and the supervisor will 

 compile the data at the end of each month and submit a report 

 to the Forester.
