Volunteer Observers. I gathered the impression that there were 
a sufficient number of competent and enthusiastic amateur ornithologists
in 
the state to make it practicable to get a good deal of valuable check-work

done, and even certain research projects requiring mainly the observational

method, through volunteer effort. Milton Trautmann of Columbus would be 
an example. Of course, this should be a supplement to rather than a sub-

stitute for the work of paid men. 
Coordinating- Apmencies. While there is hardly any applied work 
to coordinate, the agencies appropriate to this function are also usually

useful in drawing programs. A State program would be very valuable in 
stimulating going institutions to become cogs in an effective state 
mechanism. 
The State Academy of Science (J. S. Hine, President) has a large 
opportunity for such service. 
Federal agencies such as the Forest Experiment Station and the 
Biological Survey (through the proposed quail Demonstration) usually exert

a valuable influence in coordination as between states. 
In addition, national sportsmenst organizations, such as the 
American G. P. A. and the Izaak Walton League, would appear to have a 
logical function working up an internal demand for an adequate research
