sparrows, are extraordinarily high by American standards, The annusl banding 
average is 10,000 birds of 20 species; the returns average 300 birds of 20

such useful data as the numbers of licenses issued, both for shooting and 
netting, the amount of revenue received, the kill of birds and mammals listed 
by species for each prefecture, the activities of government agents, the numbers 
of violations and hunting accidents, and the number of sanctuaries and licensed 
hunting grounds, While faulty and careless collection of the data renders many 
of them useless for statistical study, they are the only ones available, The 
figures for 1943 were destroyed during collection in 1944, None were gathered 
for the 1944-45 season, but partial figures for 1945-46 are available, though 
not pubdlisned, Those for the 1946-47 season are being collected,
