78 REPORT OF THE FISH AND GAME COMMISSION. 



One reel has been added to the six Salisbury films. This one was 

 secured by the Commission itself and shows the albacore and tuna 

 fisheries of southern California. The reel shows the fishing grounds, 

 the catfhing of tlie fish, shipment, and the processes of canning. An- 

 other reel showing the sardine industry is to be added in the near 

 future. Two hundred feet of film showing sea lions on Anno Nuevo 

 Island has also been secured. 



A small collection of lantern slides of common birds and mammals 

 has been loaned to the schools on several occasions.

PUBLICATIONS. 



The continually increasing mailing list and the many letters received, 

 lead us to believe that our quarterly California Fish and Game is prov- 

 ing an educational force in the state. The magazine is now in its sixth 

 volume. A glance at its editorials and the type of articles which 

 appear should convince anyone that its aim is "conservation through 

 education." On many occasions California Fish and Game has been 

 mentioned as the best publication of its kind in the United States. Out- 

 standing among the numbers issued is that for July, 1919, which 

 appeared as a "Trout Number." An article on "California trout" 

 gave a description of the life history and habits of all the different 

 varieties of trout found in the state, and this was illustrated with four 

 beautifully colored plates. As was expected the demand far exceeded 

 the supply. Volume Five (1919) contained 222 pages and 70 illustra- 

 tions including 18 general articles and more than 220 shorter items.
