MISCELLANEOUS FACTS 



During the fiscal year we have pubhshed five new Educational Leaflets, 

 written by the Secretary. These first appeared in Bird-Lore and later were 

 issued separately. They are: Leaflet No. 89, Black-necked Stilt; No. 90, 

 English Sparrow; No. 91, Sage Grouse; No. 92, White- throated Sparrow; and 

 No. 93, Phoebe. Our Department in Bird-Lore occupied 173 pages. A 

 new circular, No. 5, on 'The Department of Applied Ornithology,' was added 

 to our list. Among the miscellaneous publications issued during the year were : 

 Circular No. i, 20,240; No. 2, 20,000; No. 3, 20,390; No. 4, 15,300; No. 5, 

 5,500; a four-page announcement to teachers, 85,050; and Audubon Educa- 

 tional Leaflets (four pages of descriptive text, a colored plate, and an outline 

 drawing), 2,741,000. Of office supplies, such as letterheads, record cards, 

 order blanks, etc., and various publications for circularizing, 829,000 were used. 

 Printed envelopes of various sizes to the number of 361,000 were required. 

 Large quantities of wrapping-paper and twine were needed, also 8,634 cartons 

 and many wooden boxes. 



The Association also published linen posters calling attention to the value 

 of birds in wartime and urging the public to report violations of the bird-pro- 

 tective laws. Of these 'war' notices 50,000 copies were issued in English and 

 Italian and 25,000 copies in English alone. 



The motion-picture films rented by the home office have been in constant 

 demand and have been shipped to many parts of the country. The nominal 

 rental charges provided an income amounting to $117, and orders are now on 

 file for future reservations. 



In addition to the seven reels already on hand, Mr. Job has secured another 

 thousand feet of film this season. This includes many interesting subjects, 

 such as Geese, Swans, Ducks, Terns, Martins, Duck Hawks, etc. It also shows 

 the work at the Association's Bird Experiment Station, at Amston, Conn., 

 with pictures of Tree Swallows, Wrens, and other birds, and the propagation 

 of Quail and water-fowl. Our entire set of films probably will be rearranged, 

 including these new sections, thus making each reel more interesting and com- 

 plete. The revised list will be printed in Bird-Lore. We have also received as 

 a gift 700 feet of splendid film from one of our esteemed members, Dr. Thomas 

 S. Roberts, of Minneapolis. 



The lantern-slides made and colored by the Association are very popular 

 with bird-lecturers. During the past fiscal year the sale of slides amounted
