As in the past copies will be mailed to all per sons who hold licenses for this year. Those who do not receive a copy through the mail may secure one from the local Game Commis- sioner, Game Warden, Licensing Officer or from the Executive Of flee at Juneau.
 The makeup of the new circular has been changed slightly. The reg ulations will be found first, followed by excerpts from the Alaska Game law and other Federal and Terri torial Statutes. The circular also has a larger map of the Terri tory than heretofore.
 Black bear Unprotected
 Among the changes in regula- tions for the year beginning July l, is the removal of the close sea- son on black bears throughout thc Territory. Several years ago it was considered advisable to declare a continuous open season on this animal in the district north of thl Alaska Range, and due to his un- precedented increase in the remain der of the Territory during the past two years, this continuous open season has been extended to the remainder of the Territory. Tc legally kill black bears, however, g person must be in possession of a trapping license as under the law they are classed as fur bearing animal.
 An all-year open season on large brown and grizzly bears is provided for residents in large part O.. the Territory. Sections in which residents may kill these bears only during the open season from Sep tember 1, to June 20, consists oi five areas: CD The drainage to tht Gulf of Alaska from the west shor, of Glacier Bay to the Alsek River CD The drainage to the Gulf o Alaska from the west shore O. Yakutat Bay and the west edge o Hubbard Glacier to the Berine River; (3) The drainage to ths west side of Cook Inlet between tho west bank of the Susitna River to it's confluence with the Yentnc River, thence along the west bank of the Yentna River to it's con- fluence with the Skwentna River thence along the south bank O, the Skwentna River to the summit of the Alaska Range, and the old portage from Kakhonak Bay or Iliamna Lake to Kamishak Bay. (4 All of the Alaska Peninsula south and west of the Kvichak River, Iliamna Lake and the old portage from Kahkonak Bay tc Kamishak Bay; (5) and the fol- lowing named isl a s-Hawkins Hinchinbrook, Montague, Yacobi and Shuyak.
 In these areas a resident may take a bag limit of two animals or may kill large brown and grizz- ly bear at any time, or place, when such animal is about to attack or molest persons or property. Non residents are permitted to hunt large brown and grizzly bears throughout the Territory, during the open season from September l to June 20, and may take a legal bag limit of two animals. The same provisions for guides and li- censes apply to non residents as heretofore. Bears, as well as other animals and birds in those areas enumerated and defined as closed to hunting and trapping under Regulation IA, are accorded tht same protection as heretofore.
 Deer Season Advanced
 Other h ranges affecting gamt animals include advancing tht opening of the deer season il Southeast Alaska to August 20. Tht closing date is also advanced tt November IS. The former area north of the Arctic Circle, wher, residents could take caribou throughout the year, has been ex tended to include all that regiol north of the Yukon River, that tn people living in those remote re gions might secure much needle, supplies of fresh meat. The open ing of the mountain goat seasol has been advanced to August 2( and the bag limit reduced from to 3 for residents and nonresident alike.
 In conformity with recent amend ments to the Federal Migrator Bird Treaty Act Regulations, tn daily bag limits on ducks have bee reduced from 25 to 15; on gees
