STATE LAWS. 



The following digest of the laws of the various States relates chiefl}^ 

 to the transportation and sale of game. Sections which contain pro- 

 hibitions against transportation and sale merely during close seasons 

 are omitted, since they are so common that their repetition seems 

 unnecessary. Hence no extracts will be found from the laws of 

 Kentucky, or Louisiana, and the onh^ section quoted from the laws of 

 Mississippi is one defining game. Definitions of game are quoted also 

 from the statutes of other States which contain such definitions, and a 

 few other sections have been inserted when necessar}^ for the sake of 

 clearness; but as far as possible the extracts have been restricted to 

 those treating of the trade in game. As a rule the statutes are quoted 

 verbatim, but in some cases abstracts onh^ are given, which are placed 

 in brackets.
