Michigan's bounty iaw. 



163 



15,500, or an average of 378 for a county. As there are eighty -two 

 counties in Michigan, this gives 31,000 Sparrows, a number utterly in- 

 significant, in fact not more than were actually trapped by a single en- 

 terprising man in Indianapolis, Ind., during the past two years. (See 

 Report of W. T. Hill, page 181 of this Bulletin. 



No data are at hand on which to base even an approximate estimate of 

 the total number of Sparrows in the State of Michigan, but as there 

 must he many millions at least, it is evident that the present bounty 

 law not only fails to lessen the total at all, but probably does not effect 

 the destruction of one per cent, of the annual increase. Doubtless the 

 entire thirty-one thousand might have been killed within the city limits 

 of Detroit without making any noticeable difference in the number of 

 Sparrows in that city. 



In this connection we desire to acknowledge the receipt of valuable 

 information from the following county officers in Michigan :
