These records are of the ordinary size and thickness, but de- i secret they have, besides vice which cannot at present be. divulged, from three to four times the number of grooves, and rotate, at one-third the speed-about twenty-eight revolutions instead of the usual eighty per minute.

As the prohibition will be ab- solute, regulations in the Schedule to the Wild Birds Ordinance, 1922, Ordinance No. 16 of 1922, are being amended so as to prohibit the shooting or taking of game in an area prohibited under the pre- sent Ordinance, or the entry into such an area in pursuit of game or for the purpose of taking nests or eggs. The regulations in ques- tion will be further amended "G as to provide for the insertion on the form of game licence of a" note drawing attention, to the prohibi- tion now proposed. A draft of the proposed regulations is pub- Hished with this bill.
The Ordinance does not apply to
