By a law passed in 1905, the importation of living insects into this country is forbidden and there are other laws which regulate so strictly the impor- tation of larger animals that in many cases no discretion is left to the au- thorities.

It was therefore quite natural that several attempts should be made to accli- matize the bird in America, the most important being the liberation of a flock of sixty in 1890.
