he plainly marked on the outside with the names of the eonsitrnor and 
consignee, the initial point of hi Hi no- juid destination, and an itemized 
statement of the (piantity of t,aime contained th(M"ein. Ontario exacts 
that all ha^s, hoxes, and pa reels, })esides hoarin*^ a description of the 
contents and the name and address of the owner, must be so made as 
to s/nnr th< conltntx. S(»veral of tho States require })ij( (^ame and 
<,nim(^ ])irds carried home by sportsmen to be marked with the 
owner's namt\ shipped as baggage, and transported open to view. It 
is a common practice to forward game l)v express under a false or 
misleading name, with the hope of avoiding suspicion; but in Nebraska 
and Wisconsin a false statement as to contents is punishable by a fine 
of !^25 to ^100 and in Oregon by a tine of ^100 to ^50(> or imprison- 
ment one to four months, or In' ])oth tine and imprisonment. 
litiilroad and express companies should call the attention of their 
agents to these provisions and insist that all packages be properly 
marked })efore shipment. In Nebraska conunon carriers are prohib- 
ited, under a penalty of $25 to $100, from receiving consignments of 
game not properly labeled. In Texas they may examine suspected 
packages, and in Arkansas they may cause them to ])e opened when 
necessary and may even refuse packages supposed to contain fish or 
game for export. In Wisconsin packages of fish or game not properly 
marked may ])e seized and sold by game wardens. 
Various devices have been resorted to in evading nonexport laws. 
Game has been shipped in trunks, in Imtter kegs, or in boxes marked 
'dressed poultry,' 'butter,' or 'household goods.' and in packages 
bearing cipher addresses or numbers or ingeniously concealed stiite- 
ments of contents. All such devices are clearlv illegal, and when 
exposed through inspection by game w^ardens or deputy marshals 
render the shipper liable to the loss of his game, ])eside additional 
heavy penalties for evasion of the shipping law\s. 
SHIPMENT WITHIN THE STATE. 
In the shipment of game a distinction is made between shipping 
within the State and exporting from the State. The majority of the 
Stiitcs which prohibit export place no restriction on shipment within 
the State, but in the others various limitations exist. Delaware, 
Minnesota, Missouri, Texas, Kansas, and Nevada prohibit shipment of 
all oi- certain kinds of game within the State. Fourteen other States 
and one Province of Canada permit such shipment, but guard against 
abuses ))y numerous requirements. In eight of these — Maine, New 
Hampshire, C'oiuiecticut, New York, Wisconsin, Iowa, Wyoming, and 
New Brunswick — shipment is allowed under hunters' licenses, usualh' 
on condition that the game be taggecl, carried opeidy, and accom- 
])anie(l by tln'owner, though sometimes special exceptions are made
