California's contri- bution, as required by the Pittman-Robertson Act, was $529,169, making a total of $2,116,675 available for carrying out the federal aid program in California. Federal aid apportionments were the highest since the state entered the program in 1940, exceeding the amount received during the preceding biennium bv $441,235. The increase was due to two factors: first, there has been a steady rise in federal receipts derived from the excise tax on arms and ammunition; second was the addition of the Bible Bill funds. Under the Bible Bill, certain accumulated Pittman-Robertson moneys over a five-\ear period were released to the states. For the biennium for California this amounted to more than $200,000. The increase in funds came at just the right time. The development and operation of waterfowl areas, recently acquired by Wildlife Conservation Board Funds, at Wister, .Mendota and Gra\' Lodge produced added expense. During the biennium, a number of po- sitions, together ^\â ith certain operational expenses on the waterfowl areas formerly supported hv license revenue, were transferred to the federal aid program. Moreover the general rise in costs has taken its share of dollars. The department's Pittman-Robertson program is di- vided into 14 projects. Five of these projects are de- voted to investigations and management. They are by nature research and fact-finding projects and are the bases for determining what is necessary for the man- agement of game species. Approximately 37 percent of the funds were expended in this category. Six projects are concerned with the development and maintenance of waterfowl management a
