Excerpt from Wildlife Refuges My thanks are due to those in the Service who reviewed the manuscript, notably W. L. Mcatee, H. P. Sheldon, J. Clark Salyer II, Dr. Clarence Cottam and Frank Earnshaw, each of whom offered valuable suggestions and criticisms. Dr. H. L. Shantz has reviewed the part covering the refuges administered by the Forest Service, and V. H. Cahalane and C. C. Presnall have performed the same service for the section dealing with national parks. The governments of Canada and Mexico, the state conservation departments, and the private organizations that maintain refuges have been most generous in furnishing information on which various chapters are based.
