ADDENDUM. 
Harrisburg, Pa., January 5, 11)22. 
In addition to data contained in the annual report, below is given 
information relative to game killed, hunting accidents, licenses is¬ 
sued, etc., which data has been compiled since the preparation of the 
report to the Game Commission. A complete tabulation of reports 
from sportsmen on game killed, as well as the final checking of reports 
covering the issuance of licenses, will probably change somewhat the 
figures below given. According to information already in hand the 
figures on game killed are fairly accurate.
