dollars for each bird or part thereof in 

 respect to which such violation occurs." 



This law was passed in order to try to 

 prevent the extermination of this species of 

 Grouse, which formerly was common in 

 southern New England and parts of the 

 Middle States but now is confined to a re- 

 stricted district on the island of Martha's 

 Vineyard. 



The experiment of trying to save this race 

 of birds will be an exceedingly interesting 

 one. 



There were several bills introduced for the 

 amelioration of the condition of Cats, but 

 none of them received more than humorous 

 consideration. — W. D. 



Lack of space prevents publication of very 

 interesting and important legislative notes 

 from New York, Iowa, South Carolina, 

 Georgia, Alabama and Louisiana, also news 

 of interest from the reservations. This 

 matter will appear in the August issue.

 Mrs. Bradley has abandoned the chicken- 

 farm project and has expressed a preference 

 for a home within the city limits of Key 

 West. Accordingly, negotiations are under 

 way for the purchase of a six-room cottage 

 selected by its future occupant. It is the 

 intention of the Association to keep the 

 property in repair, to pay the taxes on it 

 and to give Mrs. Bradley the use of the 

 home during her life, and at her death to 

 convey the property to the two children of 

 Guy M. Bradley should they survive their 

 mother. The cost of the house selected will 

 leave an unused balance of the fund of 

 nearly three hundred and fifty dollars 

 ($35°), which will be invested; the income 

 received will be paid half-yearly to Mrs. 

 Bradley. Any further contributions, and 

 it is hoped there may be some, will be 

 added to the invested fund. — W. D.
