PREFACE TO FIFTH EDITION.

The difficulty of ascertaining the law from the network of
original and amended statutes, both of the Dominion Parlia-
ment and the Ontario Legislature, and from the various Orders
in Council suspended and re-enacted, is the reason for the issue
of this Digest.

Since the last edition the Provincial laws relating to fish and
game have been consolidated, and again amended, while many
new Orders in Council have been passed.

Some practical hints on camping, which long experience has
proved to be valuable, have been added to this edition.

The illustrations, which appear for the first time throughout
the book, will be continued, and increased in number, in future
editions, and the book will be published annually if sportsmen
show their appreciation in the usual way.

The Digest is a sjmopsis of the whole law,*so far as it relates
to the various animals, birds and fish protected by it, and is
intended both as a handbook for the guidance and protection of
sportsmen, and also aa a book of reference for those whose duty
it is t6 enforce the law,

Ottawa, Sept. aSth, 1903. A. H. 0*8.

V Mi ;m

When dates for opm mmm are given, both days are included.
Except during their open aeaion, animals and birds protected
may not be hunted, talcen. killed, destroyed, or pursued with
such intent.

The words "hunt," "Uke," and "kill," with regard to animals
«nd birds, and "fUh for," "take," "catch," and "kill' with
r^r^rd to fish, are usually interchangeable.

If there is no reference in this Digest to any particular animal,
bird or fish, there is only the general law which affects it,
in which case see the titles " Game Animal?" "Game Bird
and "Fish."

Each day during which an infracUon of " The Fisheries Act '
(R.S.C., c. 95,) continues, constitutes a separate offence.

" D.O.C." followed by the month, day and year, refers to a
Dominion Order in Council of that date.

" D.O.C." folloMred by a year date and page, refers to an Order
m Council bound with the Dominion Stotutes of that year.

'• F.A." = " The Fisheries Act" (Dominion), being R.S.C., c. 95.

"G.P.A." = " The Ontario Game Protection Act," being S.O
1900, c. 49.

" O.F. A." = " The Ontario Fisheries Act," being S.O., 1900, c. 50.

" O.O.C. ■ followed by the month, day and year, refers to an
Ontario Order in Council of that date.

" O.O.C." witho4t any date refers to an Ontario Order in Coun-
cil of June 9th, 1899.

•• R.S.C.|' = Revised Sututes of Canada (1886).

" R.S.O." = Revised Statutes of Ontario (1897).

!! ^•^•'",= S*»*"*e* of Canada of the year which follows.

!! .^^•" = Statutes of Ontario of the year which foUows.
