Book excerpt: Excerpt from Louisiana Conservation Review, Vol. 2: March, 1932 Sanctuaries of adequate size, so situated as to serve the more interesting forms of the various types, seem to be the only solution to a problem that has aroused to earnest' effort a number of interested individuals and organizations, espe cially the American Society of Mammalogists, and the New York Zoological Society. It seems fit ting that the American Nature Association, which exists mainly to work for the preservation of our threatened wild life resources, should end its in fluence to this worthy effort. It was this decision that largely motivated the pack-finley expedition to Southern Alaska in the summer of 1931, an account of which will appear in next month's issue of Nature Magazine. Another camera hunter John M. Holzworth, has spent several sea sons With Alaska's large bears, also on Admiralty Island, and has published in book form an able defence of the brown bear, based largely on his own close associations with the animal. The wild life of Alaska is under the admin istration of the Alaska Game Commission, com posed of a member from each of the four j udicial, divisions and a representative of the Biological Survey. Under its regulations the large bears, though classed as game animals, enjoy at the hands of residents no close season and no bag limits, excepting in the three areas classed as National Parks or National Monuments, and in certain other restricted areas. In most of the Territory, therefore, even in the seven restricted areas, the large bears are given no protection from residents. For a non-resident, and over most of Alaska, where hunting is permitted from September 1 to June 20, the bag limit is two bears.
