The importation of injurious birds and ruum- als into the United Stater has been carefully of the Lacay. guarded against since the passage o Act on May 25, 1900. In the five years ending June 3, 1905, the authorities issued 1,591 per- mits for the entry of 1,906,964 birds (chiefly cauarics), 2846 mammals, and 38 reptiles, and 13 permits for the entry of 540 eggs of game birds. Of the consigamonts 102 were inspected. No injurious animal is known to have been admitted, but 7 mongooves, 3 dying fexes or fruit-eating bats, 1 kohlmoise, 15 Birumeisen and 2 starlings have been refused entry. At Honolulu & Hons were refused entry.
