tivity in Minnesota. Xew Jersey, and Oregon, but Maine repealed the 
provision permitting sale of game raised in private preserves. 
The sale of all protected game was prohibited in Nevada, Oregon, 
and Wyoming, while Xew Jersey enacted provisions similar to those 
of the -Xew York law prohibiting the sale of all game belonging to a 
family any species or subspecies of which is native to and protected 
by the State law. , 
Other interesting sale provisions are the continued suspension of 
sale of deer in southeastern Alaska until August 15, 1914, and the 
prohibition in Pennsylvania of the sale of quail and ruffed grouse 
wherever taken. 
Michigan permitted transportation and sale of rabbits lawfully 
killed and the sale and export of deerskins or green or mounted buck 
deer heads under permit: while Vermont permitted deer to be sold 
during the open season and for a " reasonable time thereafter" and 
rabbits during the open season. 
The legislation of the year shows a decided tendency to place more 
stringent restrictions on the export of native game. Wyoming pro-, 
hibited the export of all protected game: Maine reduced the export 
limit of partridges under a resident license tag from 6 to 5: Ohio 
reduced the export limit under a nonresident license from 50 to 25 
birds and animals, while Maine increased the export limit on ducks 
under nonresident license from 10 to 15, and permitted a nonresident 
to export one pair of game birds a month under a 50-cent tag: Michi- 
gan restored the provision permitting a nonresident to export one 
deer under permit and license, and Xew York required nonresidents 
to obtain permits to export deer. 
BAG LLMITS. 
The changes in bag limits tend as usual toward further restrictions. 
Some hovel features hi weekly limits were enacted in the Xorthwest, 
where in an effort to forestall large week-end bags of birds, Washington 
provided that the week should end at midnight Wednesday night, 
and Oregon provided limits for seven consecutive days. 
In the case of big game. Washington reduced the limit on sheep 
and goats from two to one each, and Wyoming now permits only one 
female elk under each ordinary resident license. In the case of deer, 
Florida and Oregon reduced the limits from five to three: Montana 
provided that the limit of three deer shall not include more than one 
doe; Wyoming reduced the number of deer from two to one, and 
Maine from two to one in Androscogghi County. 
With these restrictions, deer hunting, as shown in the accompanying 
map, is now permitted in 36 States, 12 of which limit the hunter 
to one deer a season, and 10 to two. In only about a quarter of the
