porary appointment until January i, 19x9, when he became Ichthy- 
ologist on the Station staif. His resignation took effect October i, 
1 92 1. While engaged in fish surveys he has, working with others, 
made studies of the fish of Oneida Lake, of the Palisades Inter- 
state Park region, and the Allegany State Park; and through his 
interest the Erie County fish survey was initiated. He is a very 
competent field naturalist, whose enthusiasm for studying the life 
history and habits of fish has been a life-long passion. It is through 
the Station having on its staff such a specialist that it has been able 
to cooperate with various other State agencies and local organiza- 
tions in its various fish surveys. He leaves the Station with its 
best wishes for his future success. 
The Station is fortunate in being able to announce at this time 
that Dr. William Converse Kendall, Scientific Assistant and Ichthy- 
ologist of the United States Bureau of Fisheries at Washington, 
D. C, has accepted the position as Ichthyologist made vacant by the 
resignation of Mr. Hankinson. Dr. Kendall cooperated with the 
Station, through the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries, in our study of the 
fishes of the Palisades Interstate Park. He has devoted years to 
the study of trout and is our leading authority in America on the 
Salmonidae. His well-known paper. The Rangelex Lakes, Maine; 
zvith Special Reference to the Habits of the Fishes, Fish Culture 
and Angling, is one of the most important studies of its kind ever 
published in this country, and is only one of a large number of inter- 
esting and important papers published by him. The Station is very 
fortunate in securing such a competent man. 
The Fifth Anniversary 
The twenty-ninth of December is the fifth anniversary of the 
presentation of the original plans for forest wild life research to 
Colonel Roosevelt, and at that time they received his cordial approval. 
However, on account of the War, these plans were not developed 
until after his death, when they became the basis for this ^Memorial 
Station, in May, 1919. Since then investigations have been con- 
ducted on forest wild life in the Adirondacks, in the Palisades 
Interstate Park, in the Allegany State Park, and during the past 
summer investigations were started in the Yellowstone National 
Park. Thus several of the most important features of the original 
plans are already under way.
