With the 15 additions and the 3 eliminations specified above, the net increment

list of 576 species and subspecies.—J. GRINNELL, Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, Berkeley, 
California, October 15, 1921. 
Bird Banding.—The writer recently suggested to the Editor that a definite place 
in Tue Conpor, the same position in each issue, be assigned to the publication of records 
of birds banded in the western states. Stimulation of the movement should result, and 
one actively engaged in banding or in taking specimens would have a reference list in- 
stantly at hand when he captured a bird banded by another. The plan was accepted on 
condition that the writer “function as furnisher” of copy for such column, and place 
for recording such data has been assigned to the last page of “From Field and Study” 
department. 
Will those who are banding, or who have banded, birds, or who have taken banded 
birds alive or dead, please send to the appended address full data with regard to same, 
in order that it may be published without delay? The United States Biological Survey, 
Washington, D. C., will furnish bands and full information with regard to their use to 
any one who is interested. Report through Conpor columns will not in any way re- 
place, of course, the rendering of reports to the Biological Survey, or prevent the further 
use of the data by those who furnish it, but will merely constitute a local ‘clearing 
house” for such data. 
Mr. S. Prentiss Baldwin has démonstrated (see various articles in the Awk and 
elsewhere) the value of data thus obtained, even by one working alone. Naturally the 
results can be greatly multiplied by the codperation of those at many points, particularly 
in our western states, where migration routes and local distribution are doubtless affect- 
ed: by topographical features.—J. EuGENeE Law, 333 S. Van Ness Ave., Los Angeles, Cali- 
fornia, October 3, 1921.
