During the past two years state lion hunter Jay Bruce, secured sixty lions of which 3-1 were males, and 26 females. Of this number fourteen were animals less than a year old. Many of tlie lions (49 in all) were taken in or near game refuiies, localities whicli are worked consistently because of the direct relation to deer conservation. It is believed that the total average lion population of the state has been reduced al)out 100 as a result of the activities of the state lion hunter. Complaints of the depredations of bears have been consistently investi- gated but no reliable evidence has been obtained that stock had been killed by them. However, frequently there is evidence that bears have fed upon stock killed by other predatory animals than bears. A complete summation of the lion bounties paid will be found in the appendix. FISH AND GAME PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATIONS. The staunchest kind of support for conservation measures comes from the twenty or more fish and game protective associations of the state. Could this favorable sentiment be unified in one great state organization the sportsman's interests could be better cared for. The Commission has been glad to lend support to these organizations and to receive suggestions from them. A plan is being evolved to center all of these protective associations in a central organization to be known as the California Conservation League, in an attempt to crystallize sentiment and avoid duplication of effort. 2—34744.
