^ Export and sale are prohibited as before. For sale seasons, see p. 55. The omission of quail from 

 the law of 1901 affects only killing. The Attorney-General has advised the game commissioner that 

 the birds can still be protected under other sections. In a case recently tried at Morgan Park, a 

 suburb of Chicago, the offender was convicted and fined, it being held that the new law contained 

 no clause effeetivelv repealing the provisions relating to quail in the old law (Forest and Stream, 

 Vol. LVII, pp. 84. 167, August, 1901).
