 PREFACE TO]fbURTH, EDITION. 
 
 .The difficulty ipf ascertaining the la.w from the network of original 
 and amended statutes, both of the Dominion Parliament and the 
 Ontario Legislature,* and fr^m the- various Orders in Council sus- 
 pended and, re-enacted, is t|te reason for the issue of this Digest. 
 
 Since thi last edition the laws relating to both game and fishing 
 have been consolidated, and again amended . while many new Orders 
 in Council liave been passed. /The numerous changes in the laws 
 have necessitated this new edition, which is considerably increased 
 in size and in the number of headings and cross references. 
 
 The Digest is a synopsis of the whole law, so far as it relates to 
 
 the various animals, bird* and fish protected by it, and is intended 
 
 both as a handbook for tj^e guidance and protection of sportsmen, 
 
 and also as a book of reference for those whose duty or privilege it is 
 
 • to enforce the laws f6r the protection of the game of this Province.
