Plainfield

Dear Sir: 
I have your letter of June 20 regarding band sizes. 
As this is all quite a detailed matter regarding a subject 
handled entirely by the Poynette game farm, I am referring 
your letter to Mr. H. B. Kellogg with the idea that possibly 
Mr. Paul Kennedy can answer your questions. They purchase 
all bands from there and can make changes on new orders. 
I should think it would be advisable for us to have 
serial numbers on these bands, but possibly that is not neces- 
sary because we probably always secure a different set of 
numbers. Was it your idea that the serial numbers 0340 and 
1361 might be made to correspond to years? 
As you know our bands are numbered at the factory and 
go according to their listing somewhat. As far as I know 
there is no correspondence with band size numbers of the 
Biological Survey. 
You may expect an answer from the game farm on this. 
Thank you for the good grouse banding record.
