Karakvil lamb showinK fur in prime condition. The Karaliul sheep industry has spread to Cali- fornia. better and hardier sheep is obtained by crossing the karakul with a Mexican wool sheep. A new fur industry is therefore being developed in California. Although the animals utilized are domesticated, yet the increase of furs of this sort should add much to reduce the toll taken of native fur-bearers, and consequently this new project should be looked upon with favor. SUGGESTED BIRD RESERVATION ON MONO LAKE. A colony of gulls is located on a large island in Mono Lake where it is cus- tomary for them to breed each year. Recently a desert homestead has been taken up with an entry on the lake, and a summer residence has been built there. I understand that the homesteader pro- poses to stock the island with goats, which may be a fad that will be short lived. However, it strikes me that some attention should be given to the preser- vation of this colony of gulls, which is somewhat unique on account of the fact that it is situated so far inland, and also because it adds greatly to the interest taken in the Mono Lake region. This territory is rapidly coming to the front among tlie tourists as a recreation ground, and I feel that all due pi-ecaution should he taken to retain the interesting fea- tures of the locality. I have had it in mind for some time to advocate the setting aside of a sufficiently large portion of this island as a bird reservation, - to insure their continued residence, through the aid of due protection. No doubt you will be interested in this case, and if you care to take it up further, I will be glad to do all in my power to assist you in the matter. It is quite ev'dent that unrestricted goat raising on the island would have a disastrous effect on the birds. W. W. Maule.. Fig. 35. Black
