accounts to tlie Secretary of the hoa.rd of Agriculture for pre-

X V/ 
1 received froti the Secretary a copy of Prof. Henshaw’ s 
t 
letter regarding tlie protection of birds. I understa.nd froia a 
nujiiber of conversations 'vith you that the law intended to protect 
oirds is really not very effective. I e.xpect to tn,ke this matter 
ujp again very soon with the Chief of Police or v;ith the Governor, 
but before-hand I would be obliged to you to give me all infor- 
mation possible you can concerning the effectiveness or ineffect- 
iveness of the present law. Give me n,ll cases that you loiow of 
where hunters have been seen with birds, where boys have destroyed 
their nests, where birds have been offered as food in hotels or 
other places, or any other c i arc inns tan ce pointing to the fact that 
the law is not properly enforced. Please be particular in giving 
the time and place of your observations. 
Very truly yours.
