IMPORTATION OF EGGS OF GAME BIRDS FOR
PROPAGATION.

Treasury Department, May 23, 1910.

To Officers of the Customs and Others Concerned:

Regulations are hereby prescribed as follows:

The

1. The following only are recognized as game birds: Gallinae commonly known as wild turkeys, grouse, capercailzie, pheasants, partridges, and quail; the Otididae, commonly known as bustards; the Rallidae, commonly known as rails and crakes; the Anatidae, commonly known as swans, geese, and ducks; and the Tinamidae, commonly known as tinamous. The Department reserves the right to modify this list of game birds without notice.

2. All packages of eggs imported under the foregoing provision of law must be clearly marked "eggs of game birds for propagation." In admitting such eggs to entry, officers of the customs must be satisfied that propagation is the sole object of the importation. The entry of the consignee must show such purpose, and a declaration of ultimate use of the eggs for propagation must be filed with the entry by the importer, owner, consignee, or agent. Great care will be exercised in examining such eggs to avoid breakage.

3. Eggs, like other imported goods, are subject to inspection at the custom house and should be carefully packed, so that they can be examined readily and without injury. Officers of the customs can not be held responsible for any damage resulting from the examination of packages closed against inspection. 4. In case of doubt, collectors will report all the facts to the Department for instructions.

5. Collectors of customs will notify the Secretary of Agriculture on or before the arrival of each consignment of the ports of shipment and entry, the name and address of the consignee, the date of probable arrival, and the number and kind of eggs in the shipment.

CHARLES D. HILLES, Assistant Secretary.
