should not stop with the choice of a well- 
balanced and artistically appearing rifle, 
but he should demand the same qualities 
in the shells and bullets which he uses. 
It serves not only to develop a sense of 
ihe beautiful, but it gives one more pride 
in the things which he possesses. 
OBSERVATIONS FROM 
SHELL POINT 
(Continued from page 69) 
before the plucky little wigglers. One 
cannot help wondering if any of the 
little creatures will ever succeed in 
reaching the calm stretch of water be- 
yond the dam. 
Although these eels will have to go 
on struggling against awful odds, those 
who come after them may have a fairer 
chance. Public opinion is fast crystal- 
lizing against the torrent-like fishway 
and a better one is likely to replace it 
in time. The sentiment for a fishway 
that can serve its purpose is being 
aroused because of the inability of shad 
to get up through the present one. Thus 
the shattering of the shad fishing in- 
dustry will indirectly help the little eels 
that come after those which wiggle so 
pluckily in the accompanying picture. 
Alice Crowell Hoffman, Pa. 
'T'HE "eels” referred to in this article 
* are doubtless species of lamprey. 
Lampreys ascend rivers to spasL'n, as 
does the shad. Rather than face the 
current, they sometimes come out of 
u'ater and wriggle over the wet rocks, 
which they grasp with their sucking 
mouths . — [Editors.] 
THE DOVE MIGRATORY 
'^HE Biological Survey of the United 
^ States Department oh Agriculture 
is investigating the migrations of North 
American birds, by providing such in- 
dividual birds as it wishes to study with 
an aluminum band, worn on the leg 
without inconvenience to the wearer. 
Being advised of the capture of a Dove 
so banded, the Eorest and Stream office 
communicated with the Survey and re- 
ceived the following interesting reply 
from them: 
“Your communication of recent date 
inclosing letter from Mr. Park Marshall, 
Mayor of Eranklin, Tennessee, has been 
duly received, and we wish to thank you 
for the information therein contained. 
“This bird was banded by Mr. Wil- 
liam I. Lyon on June 18, 1921, at Wau- 
kegan, Illinois. At the time of banding 
the bird was a fledgling still in the nest. 
Its capture in Tennessee may therefore 
be considered as additional proof that the 
Mourning Dove is a migratory species. 
“As you probably know, the Biological 
Survey is carrying on an important in- 
vestigation relative to the life histories 
and migrations of our native birds by 
means of these numbered aluminum 
bands, and should you know of any one 
who is interested in this work, we should 
be glad to hear from him on the sub- 
ject.” 
Those interested in doves may like to 
refer to an article in their back files of 
Forest and Stream (December, 1919, 
page 658) entitled “Bob-white versus 
Dove.”
