72 WILD LIFE PROTECTION FUND 



42 states profited by the campaign. 



2,604 sanctuaries were created by written pledges of their 

 owners, and 



770,329 acres were dedicated to the preservation of all 

 birds and quarupeds save noxious species. 



In canvassing the returns of the contest, the judges (of 

 whom the writer was one) found that four persons had 

 each rendered an enormous amount of arduous personal 

 services, and each had achieved a huge total of results. In 

 order to meet this situation in a sportsmanlike and really 

 adequate manner, the Trustees of the Permanent Fund im- 

 mediately voted to award three additional gold medals, to- 

 gether with one cash prize of $50 and three sets of the 

 American Natural History. To several persons were 

 awarded the Certificates of Valuable Service of the Pro- 

 tection Fund. The following is a full list of the awards :
