Abstract
THE spring number (vol. vi., No. 1) of Bird Notes and News is devoted exclusively to the Plumage Bill, and its effect, if passed on workers in the feathertrade in this and other countries. It includes a good report of the debate which took place when the Bill came up for second reading, together with the divisionlist on that occasion. Individual opinions from various persons on the matter, as well as the views of scientific bodies, are also quoted. It is added that the vast number of bird-skins (many of them representing rare species of the paradise group) offered for sale at auctions in London affords fresh testimony of the need for prohibitive legislation.
