When detailed banding records are summarized for the data retrieval files, only the first 5 digits of the band number are retained. For example, band numbers 1237-10000 through 19999 appear in the summary record as prefix code 12371. Pre-1960 summarized banding records contain only an index number in columns 37-38, used at the Bird Banding Laboratory to locate the old style schedules.
