EXPORT FROM THE STATE. 



61 



Among game birds the most general prohibition is that against the 

 export of quail, which is now in force in every State and Territory with 

 six exceptions. Among the excepted States are Montana, North Dakota, 

 and Wyoming, in which quail are scarce, and in Montana the sale and 

 in North Dakota the killing of these birds are at present unlawful. 

 Nearly every State in which prairie chickens occur now has a non- 

 export law. The effect of this law, combined with the sale restrictions, 

 as already stated, is to make the sale of prairie chickens illegal outside 

 of their normal range. 



Special attention is called to the following table, which contains a list 

 of the game prohibited from export by each State:
