California. 



In this State we have two members of the Committee, Mr. A. 

 W. Anthony and Mr. Leverett M. Loomis. Mr, Anthony reports 

 as follows : " A few shipments of plumes have been sent to this 

 port (San Diego), from western Mexico, but I have been unable 

 to learn the extent or nature of the consignment. The milliner 

 who received them denies that any were received; nearly all who 

 handle plumes seem ashamed of the business and anxious to 

 cover then guilt. 



" I did not visit the region of any Heron rookeries last summer,.
