the struggle for bird protection DIFF
fer from this countrys, the move
ment is truly international. On the
continent 1t 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
1915. 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 request
was made by vote of the assembly to
the Austro-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 Crown
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. It 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 ornithological congress was
held in Paris, and in 1902 the con
ventlon was signed by the dele
gates present. Its most important res
olutions were as follows;
Birds useful to agriculture, pnrticu-
| iarly the insect eaters, shall be uncon-
ditionaily protected by "A prohibition for

Among the nations represented ai
