which, it is thought, should not be protected
here in any way owing to their destructive effect on other
bird life.
Schedule B, which contains a list of the birds to be
protected during the breeding season, differs somewhat from
Sie second part of Ir. Ogilvie-Grant's list, but it includes
11 the birds that are worth shooting here, other than snipe,
woodcock, jeese and swans. The latter are omitted because
they do not breed in Hongkong, and they are omitted also from
the birds included in Schedule A so tat they may be shot at
any time.
It was considered on the other hand that raiks
and waders generally should be protected throughout the whole
year. Grouse, moor game, black game and bustards are not
found here, aid they "ere included in Ordinance No. 6 of 1585
only to protect en experimental importation.
Schedule C contains the form of licence to be issued under
nection 5 of the Ordinance. The fee specified in t'e game as
that water the forcer Ordinance.
None of the birds enumerated appear to have any special
local lanes and as they all belong to well blown species it
sceled unnecessary to include eny scientific names in the
schedules.
3/- Iny opinion this is an Ordinance to which His Excellency
the Governor may properly assent in the name of His Tajesty and
on His behalf.
