Abstract
PROF. DUERDEN'S letter in NATURE of January 15 might by its phrasing lead to the supposition that a few persons only are agitating for a novel Bill to prohibit the importation of plumage. The trade has been keenly opposed by all naturalists, not only in Great Britain, but also in the United States, Canada, Australia, and nearly every country in Europe for many years. The arguments now used were all urged by the trade when the Government Bill of 1914 passed its second reading in the House of Commons.
