Charles Greer 100 



The Ladies' Auxiliary, Mrs. Henry F. 



Osborn President 91 



Total $10,491 



This generous fund rendered it possible for the Zoologi- 

 cal Society to publish the volume in January, 1913, and to 

 place the book, up to this date, in the hands of several 

 thousand persons who are in positions to benefit the cause 

 of wild life, if they will. The systematic distribution was 

 about as follows : 



Copies 



To members of the United States Senate 100 



Members of the House of Representatives and Clerks 530 



Members of 45 State Legislatures, about 6,247 



United States Supreme Court 9 



The Governors of States and Territories 51 



State Game Commissioners and State Game 



Wardens 105 



Newspapers 250 



Sportsmen's Clubs 290 



Libraries 150 



Sent abroad in campaign work 95 



For the regular book trade, Charles Scribner's Sons, 



publishers 3,000 



Miscellaneous, about 686 



Total 11,513 



The cause of wild life is greatly indebted to Messrs. 

 Charles Scribner's Sons for the keen and sympathetic 

 interest that firm has manifested in placing 3,000 copies 

 of the work before the general public through the regular 

 channels of the book trade. 



If we may judge from the thousands of letters that came 

 to the Society from this effort, and particularly from mem- 

 bers of lawmaking bodies, we must conclude that the effort 

 was appreciated, and accomplished some of the results that 

 were desired.
