Fig. 28. Severe weather in the Sierras. Note how completely the natural food supply of game has been cut off by the deep snow. VALUABLE INFORMATION ON FISH AND GAME. Through the co-operation of the United States Forest Service, valuable data as to the status of fish and game within the State are made available. Forest rangers are in a particularly favorable position to obtain information as to the game species found in the national forests and as to their condition at the present time. A circular letter asking for information on beavers, grouse, sage hens, and introduced game birds has brought information which could not othenvise have been obtained. The reports regarding beavers show that this valuable fur-bearing mammal is still to be found in many parts of the State, and that the protection now afforded it will, perhaps, be instrumental in allowing an increase in numbers. A map is being prepared to show the location of the vari- ous colonies within the State, and a full report as to the status of the beaver in California will soon be issued. The data obtained through the Forest Service is re- liable and comprehensive and is invaluable in showing the adequacy of the present policy in relation to the administration of game resources and in pointing the way for the future.
