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 wall also afford better 

 library facilities and cooperation wnth various specialists on the Uni- 



versitv faculty. 



PITTM AN -ROBERTSON 



As a direct result of tlie Avar the appropriations made by Congress 

 under the Pittman-Kobertson Act were considerably reduced during the 

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

 approval of the States who were 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 

 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 wildlife restoration in California is now 

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

 obligated at the close of the biennium. 



Seventeen projects have been undertaken up to the 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.
