Secretaries for the Section, j 
THE PLUMAGE BILL. 
As was pointed out at the meeting of the Vertebrate Section of the Yorkshire 
Naturalists’ Union at Leeds, a few days ago, the present is the most favourable oppor- 
tunity for the passing of the Plumage Bill, and every possible effort should be made 
towards this end. As has been pointed out, Yorkshire naturalists were the first, mam- 
years ago, to commence the agitation against the wanton slaughter of rare birds for the 
sake of enriching the pockets of the dealers, and decorating the ladies. We trust that 
readers of The Xaluralist will do their best by appealing to the Members of Parliament 
in their respective districts to support the Bill, and it would certainly help the movemeit 
jf Natural History Societies were to pass resolutions asking their local M.P.'s to help it. 
We trust thev will do so. Why ladies should want parts of beautiful birds in order to 
adorn themselves, goodness only knows, as they are certainly much more beautiful, and 
much more charming, without any decoration whatever.- — T. S.
