3. Live Animals and Birds. 



Live animals or birds for exhibition or propagation may be cap- 

 tured in a close season under permit only, and shipments must be 

 accompanied by permits except as stated in regulation 4. Consign- 

 ments offered for shipment without permit will not be refused trans- 

 portation, but may be forwarded to Seattle, Portland, or San Fran- 

 cisco and held there at owner's risk and expense until permits are 

 obtained. 



4. Parks Excepted. 



Live animals (not exceeding 10 in one consignment) and live birds 

 (not exceeding 25 in one consignment) may be shipped without permit 

 to the following public zoological parks, if shipped directly to said 

 parks and not to some agent: 



Golden Gate Park, San Francisco. 



Lincoln Park, Chicago. 



Menagerie of Central Park, New York. 



National Zoological Park, Washington. 



New York Zoological Society, New York City. 



Zoological Society, Philadelphia. 



Consignments for these parks which exceed the above-mentioned 

 limits must be accompanied by regular permits in all cases. 



5. Reserved Rights of Department. 



The department expressly reserves the right to examine at Seattle, 

 Portland, or San Francisco any or all specimens, live game animals, 

 or game birds from Alaska, whether shipped as personal baggage or 

 otherwise; to detain, if necessary, at said ports any consignment of 

 game animals or birds or any part thereof not forwarded in confor- 

 mity with these regulations, and to require the return of the same 

 either to original port of shipment or their delivery to the United 

 States marshal for disposition in accordance with the provisions of 

 sections 6 and 7 of the act. Owners and masters of vessels will accept 

 all consignments subject to these conditions. In case of return, all 

 expenses of reshipment will be paid by the vessel transporting the 

 goods from Alaska; and the master of said vessel must file at Seattle, 

 Portland, or San Francisco a customs receipt for all goods returned 

 to Alaska. 



6. Examination of Shipments. 



Specimens or live animals and birds arriving at Seattle or San 

 Francisco, not covered by permits or shipped contrary to these 

 regulations, will be held for examination by officers of the customs, 

 promptly reported, and released only upon instructions from the 

 Treasury Department; provided that all goods not released within 60 

 days after arrival shall be returned to the port of shipment (at the 

 expense of the vessel bringing the same) for disposition in accordance 

 with the provisions of sections 6 and 7 of the act. 



All previous regulations and all special rulings of the department 

 in conflict with these regulations are hereby revoked.
