Abstract
An annotated list of the birds of the world has been
prepared and distributed by Mr. Joseph G. Griffith and
Mr. Michael A. Cunningham. The list was prepared following
the publication of a United States Department of
Interior amendment to the Lacey Act. The amendment
declares that all but four species of approximately
8,650 species of birds in the world are consi~ered to be
injurious. This declaration was in complete disagree- .
ment with the previous declaration that only four species
of birds are injurious.
