the struggle for bird protection DIFF
fer from this country's, the move
ment is truly international. On the
continent it has taken the form OF
international conventions or con-
crosses 1t was the German Ornitho-
logical assembly which first brought
up the matter of bird protection in
1S45. One Baldenus suggested the
idea, but, according to the records, his
proposal was first rejected" next
year. at the meeting of the Saxon Ag-
ricultural society, "shelved." and ten
years later, at the second meeting OF
German ornithologists. ignored
1t was not until 1868, at the twenty,
sixth assembly of German agricult-
uralists and foresters, that a request
was made by vote of the assembly to
the ustro-Hungarian foreign minis
ter to take measures for bringing about
the formation of international treaties
and agreements. Switzerland and
Italy were the first states to join in
the movement.
1t was not until 1884. however
that the first international ornitho
logical congress actually met al
Vienna under the patronage of Grown
Prince Rudolph.
On account of various delays, such
as the death of Prince Rudolph OF
Hungary, who had been the moving
spirit of the first meeting, and the
quarrels between various officials
the second congress did not take
place till the year 1891. 1t was held
At Budapest. and little of Importance
was accomplished, though there was
general feeling that the matter In
hand demanded close and immediate
attention.
Finally, in 1900, the third inter.
national pathological congress was
held in Paris, and in 1902 the con
vention was signed by the dele
gates present. Its most important res.
olutions were as follows:
Birds useful to agriculture, particu-
larly the insect eaters, shall be uncon-
ditionally protected by Il prohibition for
whatsoever as we'll as the destruction OF
their nests. eggs and broods.
ut shall be forbidden, at any season
and in any manner whatsoever. to steal
nests and eggs, to take or destroy nest
lings.
THE import of these nests, eggs and
nestlings, their transport. the colportage
of the same. their putting up to sale.
their sale and purchase, shall be pro.
hibited.

be forbidden.

forbidden"
Among the nations represented at
the convention were Austria Hungary,
Germany, France, Belgium Greece.
Spain, Portugal, Sweden and Norway
and Switzerland. Italy sent dele
gates. but they withdrew early in the
session. Two years ago, in 1906, Aus
tria-Hungary incorporated the conven-
ton into it's corpus juris. There is
hope that the other countries whose
delegates signed the convention will
soon follow Austria's example. Al
ready several of these nations have
laws protecting birds to certain
degree.
