SMALL GAME SHOOTING SEASON, 1910-11. 



The Honorary Secretary mentioned that it was intended to again issue 

 in the next number of the Journal a " Small Game Shooting Return/' 

 and he appealed to all members to either fill in the schedule themselves or 

 get their friends to do so. 



In the number of the Journal about to be issued (No. 2, Vol. XX), there 

 was a short report on the shooting season of 1908-09, which was based on 

 only 28 returns, and was therefore very incomplete. From various causes 

 this report had been delayed, but it is hoped, in future, to issue it in the first 

 number of the Journal which comes out after the shooting season. The 

 schedule had been enlarged to enable fuller information to be given, which 

 would add to the interest of the report. The Honorary Secretary drew 

 the attention of those present to the fact that not a single return had 

 been made by a Bombay member for the season 1908-09 ; and, there- 

 fore, he regretted to say the Bombay district was not mentioned in the 

 Report. 



He added that, considering there must be at least 500 members of the 

 Society who shoot regularly, more schedules should be returned, and he 

 hoped that there would be a much larger number sent in at the end of the 

 coming season. 



Actual dates are required particularly for Snipe, Duck and Grey Quail, 

 arrivals and departures ; and members are specially requested to note 

 whether the Snipes are " Fantail" or " Pintail."
