AMERICAN GAME BIRDS 
By Chester A. Reed 
Is a book written especially for sportsmen as a concise guide 
to the identification of game birds to be found in this country. 
Over one hundred species of game birds are faithfully de- 
picted by the colored pictures, and the text gives considerable 
idea of their habits and tells where they are to be found at 
different seasons of the year. These illustrations are repro- 
duced from water-color paintings by the author, whose 'books 
on birds and flowers have had the largest sale of any ever 
published in this country. They are made by the best known 
process by one of the very first engraving houses in the 
country and the whole typography is such as is rarely seen 
in any hook. The cover is a very attractive and unique one, 
a reproduction of leather made from the back of a boa con- 
strictor with set-in pictures of game birds. Price, 6o cents.

! AMENDMENTS TO 
BIRD TREATY ACT 
T he United States Department of Ag- 
riculture announces the promulga- 
tion of amendments and additions to the 
Migratory Bird Treaty Act Regulations. 
Hereafter the open season for black- 
bellied and golden plovers and greater 
and lesser yellowlegs in Texas will be 
from September 1 to December 15. An- 
other change prescribes a daily bag limit 
of 50 sora to a person in addition to the 
bag limit of not to exceed 25 for other 
rails, coots, and gallinules. 
An amendment of Regulation No. 6 has 
the effect of removing the limitation on 
the number of birds that may be trans- 
ported within a State during the Federal 
open season. The export of migratory 
game birds is limited to two days’ bag 
limit during any one calendar week of 
the Federal season. Persons must com- 
ply with State laws further restricting 
the shipment or transportation of migra- 
tory birds. 
An amendment to paragraph 2 of Reg- 
ulation No. 8, which is of great interest 
to breeders of game, permits migratory 
water fowl raised in domestication to be 
killed by shooting during the respective 
open seasons for waterfowl, and the sale 
thereof subject to State laws; but after 
March 31, 1919, such waterfowl, killed 
by shooting, can not be sold or purchased 
unless each bird, before attaining the 
age of 4 weeks, shall have had removed 
from the web of one foot a portion there- 
of in the form of a “V” large enough to 
make a permanent well-defined mark, 
which shall be sufficient to identify it as 
a bird raised in domestication. 
Another amendment provides that the 
plumage and skins of migratory game 
birds legally killed may be possessed and 
transported without a Federal permit, 
provision is also made for the issuance of 
special permits authorizing taxidermists 
to possess, buy, sell, and transport migra- 
tory birds. 
Two new regulations have been added. 
Regulation No. 11 provides for the issu- 
ance of permits authorizing persons to 
sell migratory game birds lawfully killed^ 
and by them lawfully held in cold storage 
on July 31, 1918. Such birds may be 
sold under permit until March 31, 1919. 
Another new regulation is as follows; 
“Nothing in these regulations shall be 
construed to permit the taking, posses- 
sion, sale, purchase, or transportation of 
migratory birds, their nests and eggs 
contrary to the laws and regulations of 
any State, Territory, or District made for 
the purpose of giving further protection 
to migratory birds, their nests, and eggs 
when such laws and regulations are not 
inconsistent with the convention between 
the United States and Great Britain for 
the protection of migratory birds con- 
cluded August 16, 1916, or the migratory 
bird treaty act, and do not extend the 
open seasons for such birds beyond the 
dates prescribed by these regulations.” 
This regulation is a restatement of the 
substance of section 7 of the migratory 
bird treaty act, and is intended to remove 
the confusion and uncertainty that ex- 
ists in regard to the effect of the Fed- 
eral law and regulations on State game 
laws.
