Remarks. — Two firms stated that they were controlled by the game laws as to 

 time of storage. One stated that all game stored should be drawn, since it is shot. 



In reply to the question whether they were usually drawn or undrawn, three firms 

 stated that they were usually drawn, and fifteen, usually or always undrawn. One 

 firm said they stored both kinds, equally.
