politan area or along the Illinois-Iowa border. Areas that were not in the 
1969 report, but were added this year, are: 
Cook County, Chicago Lakefront; Fulton & Mason Counties 
(Chautauqua Wildlife Refuge); Jo Daviess County, Schapville; Marion 
County, Centralia; Mercer County — West; Vermilion County; William- 
son County — Crab Orchard Lake; Winnebago County — Rockford. 
There was only one way to fit an additional eight areas into our 
Census Table. We turned the table around and ran it horizontally across 
four pages, instead of vertically on three pages. However, we have 
actually made a net saving of two pages over last year by omitting the 
names of 600 participants. 
This is as far as we can go. Any reports we receive next year in 
excess of the 36 will be included only in narrative form at the end of 
the Station Data. Or, if the census is based on too small an area or not 
enough counters, we will omit it altogether. I have a feeling that, with 
the great multiplication of reports, many birds are being counted twice.
