Abstract
THE disquieting fact has to be faced that the world+s stock of wild geese and wild duck is steadily decreasing. To obtain accurate information on this decrease, and to seek some method of checking it, the International Committee for Bird Preservation recently carried out an exhaustive inquiry, the results of which are recorded in the volume under notice.
