Bird protecti•on is of recent develop-

of the doge of the eighteenth century,
and tbe beginning of the nineteenth,
etitiffied and named many of the birds

In Americo. the recognition of the
value of birds to man increased as the
knowledge of birds increased. It was
found by ,scientists that the birds con-
stituted one of the most important
natural checks on bisect pests which
harassed the faorner and the fruit
grower. Syeternatic studies of birds
were made to determine the feted of
