grizzlies during hunting seasons should be prohibited or permitted only with reservations and with options to prevent the use of 'baits' during some seasons. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This phase of a long-range ecological study of the grizzly bear could not have been conducted without the help of numerous individuals and support from many organizations. We extend special thanks and credit to Joel Varney, who designed and constructed the radiotracking equipment; to Bart O'Gara for helpful suggestions; to Maurice Hornocker, Robert Ruff, Henry McCutchen, Charles Ridenour, Harry Reynolds III, Harry Reynolds, Jr., Jay Sumner, and Jack Seidensticker—all of whom, at one time or another, aided us in testing equipment, collaring animals, or tracking grizzly bears to dens or den sites. Special thanks are also due to Mr. Lemuel Garrison, former Superintendent, and other personnel of Yellowstone National Park; Dr. Melvin Payne, President, National Geographic Society; Dr. Vincent J. Schaefer, Director, Atmospheric Sciences Research Center, State University of New York at Albany; and Mr. Frank H. Goodyear, Treasurer, Environmental Research Institute. All, in different ways, encouraged us in our research efforts. This study was supported throughout its entirety by the National Geographic Society; it was also supported by Research Grant GB-2672 from the National Science Foundation; continuing grant AT (45-l)-1929 from the Atomic Energy Commission; and funds from the Bureau of Sport Fisheries and Wildlife. In addition, we gratefully acknowledge financial aid from the Environmental Research Institute and the Philco-Ford Corporation. We received help and cooperation from the National Park Service, the University of Montana, the Montana Fish and Game Department, the State University of New York at Albany (Atmospheric Sciences Research Center), and the Yellowstone Park Company.
