FORTIETH BIENNIAL REPORT 13 



During the biennial period, the inventory included 4,036 bound 

 volumes and 9,588 scientific pamphlets ; all having been catalogued, they 

 form a sizeable, valuable, bibliographical collection. 



Many requests from sportsmen, schools, and the general public for 

 free copies of division publications, and for reprints from California 

 Fish and Game were received and processed. The lending section of the 

 library has increased proportionately with the growth in number of 

 employees. 



PUBLICATIONS 



Eight issues of the quarterly magazine Calif ornia Fish and Game 

 were published during the biemiium, with 5,000 copies being printed 

 of each issue. A total of 542 pages were necessary for the 73 articles of 

 scientific value, the many "news notes," reports, fiscal statements, 

 indexes to volumes, and lists of personnel. Increased interest of hunters 

 and fishermen in division activities, plus added enrollments in colleges 

 have increased the demands for this worth-while periodical. 



FISCAL 



Complete financial statements for the biennium will be found in 

 the appendix of this report. However, the following graphic charts show 

 in summary the receipts and disbursements for the two-year period. 



Attention is called to the fact that these charts are made up in accord- 

 ance with the internal structure of the division, and, that in regard to 

 purpose of expenditure, there is considerable overlapping of functions. 

 From the charts, it looks as though the Bureaus of Patrol and Licenses 

 were "sponging" off the revenue of the other bureaus; whereas, if it 

 were not for their activities there would be but very little revenue derived 

 from sales of hunting and fishing licenses.
