Game Branch Transects - In addition to the surveys reported above, officers 
of the Manitoba Game Branch conducted ground transects. Many of these provide 
data which are not directly comparable this year due to shifts in personnel or to 
differences in timing the running of the transects. The results of a few of the.runs 
are shown below. The figures are given in terms of total ducks, uncorrected for 
absent hens.
