BIRLS OF PARADISE. (From the picture by Miss N. Hadden, by permission of the Proprietors of " The Sphere.") INTERNATIONAL BIRD PROTECTION. j^LTHOUGH the Interna- H tional Ornithological Con- gress, held this year for the first time in London, is principally concerned with the scientific aspects of bird-study, it is earnestly to be hoped that its meetings in general, as well as those of the Protection and Economic Section in particular, will do something to advance Bird Protection. The necessity for international agreement and co-operation in the matter becomes every day more apparent. Each country may and should have its own bird- preservation laws, just as each English county may and should have its own Bird Protection Order; but without some mutual agreement, some common under- standing, and some co-ordinated law, the individual action of state or county must at times utterly fail of its purpose. It is of little practical use to protect Goldfinches in Suffolk, while the dealer has only to cross the border to net them in Norfolk. It is little use to protect Swallows by law and senti- ment in England and Germany
