Meredosia, Batchtown, and Calhoun divisions of Mark Twain National 

 Wildlife Refuge from October 1975 to October 1976 were taken from 

 Wildlife Information Reports. Great blue heron and common egret nest 

 counts were taken from unpublished data obtained from R.R. Graber, J.W. 

 Graber, and data collected by Frank Bellrose.

 and 1976 hunting seasons was acquired from Forrest Loomis, forest 

 game biologist for the Illinois Department of Conservation. The 

 deer kill information from Missouri was obtained from Wayne Porath, 

 deer biologist, Missouri Department of Conservation. Furbearer har- 

 vest figures for Missouri were procured from Dave Erickson, small game 

 biologist, Missouri Department of Conservation. Narrative reports 

 for the Calhoun and Batchtown units of the Mark Twain National Wildlife 

 Refuge were obtained from the refuge manager, George Payton, and the 

 Quincy headquarters.
