PUBLICATIONS. 



Demand for the c(uarterly ]nagazine, California Fish and Game, 

 continues so great that the edition has now reached 7000. It is now the 

 oldest publication of its kind in the United States, most others having 

 been discontinued during the war. An attempt to clean up the mailing 

 list during the spring of 1922 did not materially reduce the size of 

 the mailing list. 



Every number issued in 1921 was a special number, attention being 

 given to salmon, history of the Commission, hawks and to the sardine. 



The first two numbers in 1922 were also special numbers, that of 

 January being a Game Refuge number, and that of April being a 

 Hatchery number. A complete list and index of the publications of the 

 Fish and Game Comnussion since its establishment in 1870 appeared 

 in the April, 1921, number. The Hawk number, (July, 1921,) con- 

 tained two colored plates and many other illustrations designed to 

 (orrect the usual misunderstanding as to the value of California 

 hawks. The 96-page Sardiue number, the material for which was 

 furnished by the State Fisheries Laboratory, has been in great demand 

 and the supply is now nearly exhausted. The valuable historical and 

 statistical data contained in the Hatchery number (April. 1922) will 

 become more and more valuable in years to come. Attention should 

 also be called to a series of reports by Professor J. 0. Snyder of Stan- 

 ford University, on results of the Commission's salmon marking experi- 

 ments. Volume 7, (1921) contains 286 pages and 93 illustrations, 

 together with complete reports and index. Analysis shows 26 general 

 articles and more than 150 notes, all relating to fish and game and its 

 conservation in California. Separates of the more important articles 

 have been secured for distribution. 



Two additions have been made to the series of Fish Bulletins, as 

 follows : Fish Bulletin No. 4, ' ' The Edible Clams, :\Iussels and :\lollusks 

 of the Pacific Coast," by Frank W. Weymouth; and Fish Bulletin 

 No. 5, "A Key to the Families of ]\Iarine Fishes of the We.st Coast," 

 by E. C. Starks. A new series of publications to be known as Circulars 

 has been started with the appearance of Circular No. 1. entitled 

 "Changes in Oil I^sed for Frying Sirdines, " by Harry R. Beard. 

 The plan is to place in this series small technical paper.s of interest 

 only to certain groups.
