 of Cruelty 



These Photographs were taken from life by Mr. A. H. E. Mattingley of the Australasian 

 Ornithologists'' Union. He Yisited an Egret rookery in the Rh>erina, N.S.If'., in order 

 to obtain a picture ot an egret feeding her young. But the plume-hunters had been there 

 just before him : the bodies of the parent birds lax strewn on the water or on floating logs; 

 the young were dead and dying in the nests or falling helpless to the ground. These scenes 

 arc repeated wherever the egret or " osprey " plume is being obtained for women's headgear.
