WILD BIRDS PROTECTION IN NORFOLK, 
1914. 
It has long been recognised by those interested in the protec- 
tion of wild birds in the County that the Schedule to the Act of 
1880 is a very confused list, as it gives in alphabetical order a 
number of local names without mention of the scientific name 
of the bird indicated. From a careful collation of the various 
Acts with the Bye-laws of the Norfolk County Council 
and of the Norwich Town Council, it would appear that the 
Regulations now in force, shorn of their legal language, can be 
thus condensed. 
The following birds are protected between the first day of 
March and the first day of September : — 
Auk, Little, Mergulus alle, Linn. 
Avocet, Recurvirostra avocetta, Linn. 
Bee-eater, Merops apiaster, Linn.
