After banding by PMS personnel ceased in spring 1969, because the 
field head returned to graduate school, and because of security problems, 
banding was suspended until spring 1970 when Miss Bruria Glovinsky and 
Dr. Uriel Safriel resumed banding at Eilat. In spring 1970 they banded 
10,211 birds of 79 species. 
Thus far, the following bands from birds banded in Israel in 1968 
and 1969, have been recovered:
