'Bulletin No. 14' of the Biological Survey, entitled 'Laws Regulating 

 the Transportation and Sale of Game.' It has been prepared by Dr. T. 

 S. Palmer, in charge of the immediate supervision of matters relating to 

 game under the Lacey Act, with the assistance of Mr. H. W. Olds. It 

 forms a pamphlet of about ninety pages, with nine maps and diagrams, 

 showing the open and close seasons for various kinds of game in the dif- 

 ferent States, etc. The pamphlet consists of (i ) a general discussion of 

 legislation regulating seasons, shipment, and sale (pp. 11-44), ^"<^ (2) a 

 digest of Federal and State laws regulating transportation and sale of 

 game. Thus in a small and convenient compass may be found, clearly 

 arranged, every kind of information desired respecting the protection 

 afforded game animals, game birds, and non-game birds in any part of 

 the United States. It represents a vast amount of labor, with results of 

 the highest importance to all interested in any way in the protection, 

 capture, sale, and transportation of game, and of millinery supplies 

 derived from wild birds. — -J. A. A.
