On the basis of this pronouncement the Secretary of Agriculture 

 adopted regulations which were approved by the President. These provided 

 open seasons, bag limits, and other features to govern the hunting of some 

 of the game species, and to regulate the taking, for any purpose, of the 

 migratory insectivorous and other nongame birds. In connection with this 

 last, a list was prepared of the species considered as coming under the pro- 

 tection of the Federal law. 



This list, known as "Report of Migratory Birds and Their Eggs 

 Taken for Scientific Purposes" (Form 3-430a)> is well known to the holders 

 of scientific collecting permits, who each year use it in reporting to the 

 Service the specimens of the various species that they have taken and ex- 

 changed.

 1939 and Reorganization Plan No. II, of May 9, 1939, the Bureau of 

 Biological Survey, of the Department of Agriculture, and the Bureau of 

 Fisheries, of the Department of Commerce, were transferred to the Depart- 

 ment of the Interior, effective July 1, 1939. This had the effect of 

 transferring to the Secretary of the Interior, wildlife functions that 

 were formerly those of the Secretary of Agriculture. Under the provisions 

 of Reorganization Plan No, III, of April 2,1940, the two bureaus were 

 consolidated to form the Fish and Wildlife Service.
