Abstract
THE re-introduction to the House of Lords a few days ago of a Bill for the Protection of Wild Birds suggests a glance at some aspects of bird protection in Great Britain. The new Bill proposes to repeal the Statutes, nine in number, extending from 1880 to 1908, which regulate the legal protection of birds in this country, and to replace them by a single body of law more in keeping with present-day notions of bird protection, and in some respects more stringent in its defence of the birds and more exacting in the penalties to be demanded from law-breakers.
