Of these Crown Game Preserves, the following were established during 

 the year reported upon: Mallard Lake, Caverly, Toronto Township, x'\bbey 

 Dawn, Rockcliffe Park, Nipissing, Shirley Bay, Proton and Anderdon Town- 

 ship, while the boundaries of the Wilder Lake and Peel preserves which had 

 previously existed were extended. The Pickering Crown Game Preserve, 

 located in the county of Ontario, ceased to exist. 



The objects for which these Game Preserves are established are most 

 commendable, and their existence is having a very beneficial effect on conserva- 

 tion and propagation of game animals and birds in the districts in which they 

 are located. The Department regards with satisfaction the general observance 

 of the Regulations in this connection and the increasing interest of the public 

 in the creation of additional Game Preserves in order that the wild life of the 

 Province may be provided with some adequate means of sanctuary for its pro- 

 tection. 



Wolf Bounties 



During 1929 the Department received applications for the payment of 

 bounty on 3,588 wolves, which it will be noted was considerably less than the 

 number received in the previous year. As usual the large majority of the 

 applications had their origin for animals taken in the extreme northwestern 

 section of the Province.
