Alaska, in 1902. AfOgnak Island intended as a

specially for the preservation OF birds and game
animals
Since 1000, however. eight additional preserves
have been estab,Shed-two in Florida, two in
Michigan, and one each in Louisiana North Dako-ei.
Oklahoma, and Alaska.
The best known of these is Pelican Island, in
Indian River, Florida, not far from Sebastian where
on mud flat less than four extent. adorned
by few mangroves, one or two cabbage palms. and
a few patches of grass, IS found the only per
1nanent breeding ground of brown pelcans on the
east coast of the fowerv peninsula.
What may be accomplished for the protection of
Wild birds by the exercise of little intelligent and
determined effort may be Judged from the results
attained on this reservation. 1t is the custom of
plume hunters to attack wild birds their breed
ing grounds, and so to wipe them out wholly and
hnally. This method they putting into practice
on Pelican Island, where they destroyed the huge
fowls IN great numbers merely for their qulls which
were sold for trimming women's hats Meanwhile
egg collectors, equally hearteSs carried away large
numbers OF eggs, and one such person, who visited
the place in 1904, records the fact that in about an
hour he gathered one hundred and twenty-five sets
which must have represented a considerable proper
ton OF the eggs then in the nests.

Speedy Population of a Reserve

THE other reservation in Florida was not estab-
hshed until October 1905; but already it prom
lSes to become an important refuge for both land
and sea birds. Within three months after its Gre

there by agents of the Department of Agriculture
Among these We're three kinds of tern laughing
gus. herring gulls peicans, and red breasted mer-
gansers- There were not less than i've thousand of
the merganSerS.
Even more important as breeding ground for
terms are the keys included in the Breton Island
Reservation Oft the mouth of the Mississippi
River, which was set aside in 1904. During the
winter this locality becomes refuge for thousands
Oh ducks OF various species, especially malarCS.
