MIGRATORY BIRD 
TREATY ACT 
(continued from page 599) 
sion is asked to take waterfowl or their eggs ; 
and the particular locality where it is de¬ 
sired to take such waterfowl or eggs. 
5. A person granted a permit under this 
regulation shall keep books and records 
which shall correctly set forth the total 
number of each species of waterfowl and 
their eggs possessed on the date of appli¬ 
cation for the permit and on the first day 
of January next following; also for the 
calendar year for which permit was issued 
the total number of each species reared 
and killed; number of each species and 
their eggs sold and transported; manner in 
which such waterfowl and eggs were trans¬ 
ported; name and address of each person 
from or to whom waterfowl and eggs were 
purchased or sold, together with number 
and species, and whether sold alive or dead, 
and the date of each transaction. A writ¬ 
ten report correctly setting forth this in¬ 
formation shall be furnished the secre¬ 
tary during the month of January next fol¬ 
lowing the issuance of the permit. 
6. A permittee shall at all reasonable 
hours allow any authorized employee of 
the United States Department of Agricul¬ 
ture to enter and inspect the premises 
where operations are being carried on 
under this regulation and to inspect the 
books and records of such permittee re¬ 
lating thereto. 
7. Permits issued under this regulation 
shall be valid only during the calendar 
year of issue, shall not be transferable, 
and may be revoked by the secretary, if the 
permittee violates any of the provisions of 
the Migratory Bird Treaty Act or of the 
regulations thereunder. 
8. A person engaged in the propagation 
of migratory waterfowl on the date on 
which these regulations become effective 
will be allowed until September 30, 1918, 
to apply for the permit required by this 
regulation, but he shall not take any mi¬ 
gratory waterfowl without a permit. 
Regulation 9.—Permits to Collect Mi¬ 
gratory Birds for Scientific Purposes. 
A person may take in any manner and 
at any time migratory birds and their nests 
and eggs for scientific purposes when au¬ 
thorized by a permit issued by the secre¬ 
tary, which permit shall be carried on his 
person when he is collecting specimens 
thereunder and shall be exhibited to any 
person requesting to see the same. 
Application for a permit must be ad¬ 
dressed to the Secretary of Agriculture, 
Washington, D. C., and must contain the 
following information: Name and address 
of applicant and name of state, territory, 
or district in which specimens are proposed 
to be taken and the purpose for which they 
are intended. Each application shall be ac¬ 
companied by certificates from two well- 
known ornithologists that the applicant is 
a fit person to be entrusted with a permit. 
The permit will authorize the holder 
thereof to possess, buy, sell, and transport 
in any manner and at any time migratory 
birds, parts thereof, and their nests and 
eggs for scientific purposes. Public mu¬ 
seums, zoological parks and societies, and 
public scientific and educational institutions 
may possess, buy, sell, and transport in any 
manner and at any time migratory birds 
and parts thereof, and their nests and eggs 
for scientific purposes without a permit, 
but no specimens shall be taken without 
a permit. 
Permits shall be valid only during the 
calendar year of issue, shall not be trans¬ 
ferable, and shall be revocable in the dis¬ 
cretion of the secretary. A person hold¬ 
ing a permit shall report to the secretary 
on or before January 10 following its ex¬ 
piration, the number of skins, nests, or 
eggs of each species collected, bought, sold, 
or transported. 
Every package in which migratory birds 
or their nests or eggs are transported shall 
have clearly and conspicuously marked on 
the outside thereof the name and address 
of the sender, the number of the permit in 
every case when a permit is required, the 
name and address of the consignee, a state¬ 
ment that it contains specimens of birds, 
their nests, or eggs for scientific purposes, 
and, whenever such a package is trans¬ 
ported or offered for transportation from 
the Dominion of Canada into the United 
States or from the United States Into the 
Dominion of Canada, an accurate state¬ 
ment of the contents. 
Regulation 10.—Permits to Kill Migra¬ 
tory Birds Injurious to Property. 
When information is furnished the sec¬ 
retary that any species of migratory bird 
has become, under extraordinary condi¬ 
tions, seriously injurious to agricultural or 
other interests in any particular commu¬ 
nity, an investigation will be made to de¬ 
termine the nature and extent of the in¬ 
jury, whether the birds alleged to be doing 
the damage should be killed, and, if so, 
during what times and by what means. 
Upon his determination an appropriate or¬ 
der will be made. 
Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, 
President of the United States of America, 
do hereby approve and proclaim the fore¬ 
going regulations. 
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set 
my hand and caused the seal of the United 
States of America to be affixed. 
Done in the District of Columbia, this 
thirty-first day of July, in the year of our 
Lord one thousand nine hundred and eight¬ 
een and of the Independence of the United 
States of America the one hundred and 
forty-third. 
(Seal.) Woodrow Wilson. 
By the President, 
Frank L. Polk, 
Acting Secretary of State. 
CHANGES CONTEMPLATED 
LIGHT changes in the regulations under 
the Migratory-Bird Law have be< n pro¬ 
posed by the United States Department of 
Agriculture in accordance with a resolu¬ 
tion adopted at a recent meeting in Wash¬ 
ington of the Migratory-Bird Law Advis¬ 
ory Board. The proposals have been pub¬ 
lished, and a period of three months is 
allowed during which the changes may be 
examined and considered before final adop¬ 
tion. The regulations as finally adopted 
will become effective on or after Septem¬ 
ber 1, 1918. 
Changes in the laws will be recorded in 
Forest and Stream as soon as we receive 
government notification of such change.
