shall be submitted showing how often the book of record will be published, 
and his statement will be considered. The schedule so adopted shall 
be adhered to, but the interval allowed between publication of any two 
volumes shall not exceed four years. 
(b) On or before August 1 of each year, ea^h certified association shall 
submit to the Department a report of its operations during the preceding 
fiscal year. This report shall include a statement of the number of animals 
of each sex registered during the year, and the number of imported 
animals of each sex registered, with the countries from which they were 
imported; also copies of any changes that may have been made during 
the year in the constitution and by-laws, rules of entry, or blank forms 
used by the association in the conduct of its business. Operations during 
the fiscal year ending June 30, 1906, are partially covered by reports 
already submitted, and, therefore, a report will not be required on August 
1, 1906, but the report for August 1, 1907, shall cover the period of eighteen 
months from January 1, 1906, to June 30, 1907. 
(c) No change shall be made by a certified American association in its 
rules of entry, constitution, or by-laws concerning the registration of im- 
ported animals unless first submitted to and approved by the Department. 
Changes in the person or place of business of the custodian of the book 
of record shall be reported without delay. 
(d) The report required by the preceding paragraph, shall also include 
a statement of the books of record published during the preceding 
fiscal year by the affiliated foreign associations. Any changes in the per- 
son, or place of business of the custodians of such books of record shall 
be promptly reported to the Department by the secretaries of certified 
affiliated American associations. The foreign associations with which 
certified American associations are affiliated are given in paragraph 6 of 
this order. By the term "affiliated associations" the Department means 
an association whose pedigree certificates are accepted for record by a 
certified American association. 
(e) To simplify the methods formerly used to ascertain the pure 
breeding of animals imported for breeding purposes, the Department has 
recommended to the Secretary of the Treasury that in all cases where 
a foreign association is affiliated with a certified American association 
the certificate of the custodian of the book of record of the latter, and 
no other, that animals are pure bred, of a recognized breed, and duly 
registered in the books of records established for that breed, shall be 
accepted by the officers of the customs as sufficient to entitle such animals 
to free entry. , No such imported animals, certificate of w hose registration 
is to be presented to the customs officers for free entry, shall be registered 
by a certified American association unless they are pure bred, of a 
recognized breed, and duly registered by one of the affiliated foreign asso- 
ciations in its book of record established for that breed, or from sires 
and dams so registered, except that registration in Canadian books of 
record may be recognized where animals so registered trace on both 
sides to stock registered by a certified foreign association for the same 
breed, affiliated with a certified American association for that breed. Reg- 
istration contrary to the provisions of this paragraph of imported animals 
registered in books of record not included in section 6 of this order, or in
