Inasmuch as under these conditions every dollar contributed 
for the purchase of land adds at least one acre, it is hoped that 
sufficient funds may be raised to secure extensive tracts as 
refuges for the heath hen, quail, least tern, upland plover and 
other birds which still resort to this island. 
Contributions may be forwarded to the Commissioners on 
Fisheries and Game, State House, Boston.
