Preliminary arrangements have been made to obtain more adequate 

 quarters to house the laboratory on the Berkeley Campus of the Univer- 

 sity of California. The achievement of this move will also afford better 

 library facilities and cooperation wdth various specialists on the Uni- 

 versity facultv. 



PITTM AN -ROBERTSON 



As a direct result of the war the appropriations made by Congress 

 under the Pittman-Robertson x\ct were considerably reduced during the 

 biennium. This action on the part of Congress generally met with the 

 • approval of the States who w^ere fearful that the manpower shortage, the 

 lack of essential materials, and soaring land prices would make it impos- 

 sible to spend normal appropriations. 



As it was, California received allotments totaling $91,717.86, which 



brought the total of Pittman-Robertson money allotted to California 



--, since the inception of the program to $398,233.28. Since, according to 



'j\ the terms of the act, a participating State must contribute an amount 



-^ equal to one-third of the Federal apportionment, the amount that has 



actually been made available for wikllife restoration in California is now 



more than one-half million dollars. Of this sum, $457,570.72 had been 



obligated at the close of the biennium. 



Seventeen projects have ])een undertaken up to tlie present time. 

 Eleven of these were begun during the 1940-42 biennium; six were com- 

 pleted during that period, and five were continued after July 1, 1942.
