1935 being the most important. Dr. Miles D. Pirnie of the Kellogg 
Sanctuary had charge of most of these operations. A limited program 
was carried out also at Muskegon, 1930-34, and in the Milford—Detroit 
River area intermittently from 1928 to the present by the Michigan 
Conservation Department. 
The results of the Munuscong and Kellogg bandings were 
summarized by Pirnie in 1931 and 1935. 
Connecticut bandings have been erratic over the years, 
from their beginnings in 1922. Most of the records come from two 
periods (1933-35 and 1949-50) with Litchfield and the Saybrook-East 
Lyme areas the principal banding localities. The earlier bandings 
were conducted by P. H. Barney, and during the last few years by 
James Bishop and others of the Connecticut Board of Fisheries and 
Game. These records have not been completely summarized although 
Sondrini and Bishop (1951) have presented problems relative to their 
1948-1950 studies. 
several northern states have been mentioned in which banding 
started in the thirties and continued through the forties to the 
present time. In addition to these, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, 
Ohio, Pennsylvania, and the eastern Canadian Provinces are worth 
mentioning. 
There was little done on black duck banding in Illinois 
until the early forties although some records as far back as 1922 are 
on file. The principal trapping periods have been 1941-A4 and 1946-49. 
Most of the banding has been carried out in the Orland Park-Barrington 
area near Chicago, at the Chautauqua Refuge, Havana, and the Spring 
Lake Refuge near Savannah. The Orland Park work was done by J. Jedlicka 
and others connected with the Cook County Forest Preserve District and 
the Chautauqua and Spring Lake programs by employees of the State 
Natural History Survey. The Orland Park data from 1940 to 1945 have 
been summarized by Mann (1943, 1944) and Mann, Thompson, and Jedlicka 
(1947). The records for Spring Lake and Chautauqua have not been sum- 
marized from the standpoint of migration but the data has been used in 
mortality studies by Bellrose (1944). 
Bandings in Posey and Rennselaer counties, Indiana, have 
been limited and conducted intermittently since 1936. A limited 
amount of banding has been done in Wisconsin almost every year for 
the past 27. One year (1930), at Big Suamico, accounts for about a 
third of all the recoveries. Many stations are involved in the Wis- 
consin bandings but the few important ones are the Campbellsport- 
Big Suamico area, Horicon Refuge, and Necedah Refuge. 
The number of recoveries available for Ohio is about equal 
to that of Wisconsin but the spread of. records is more reduced. The 
principal period of banding has been 1939-41 and 1946. Black Ducks 
have been banded at several scattered points but the main locations
