| Pertinent are phrases from Vergil's Aeneid when jovial sailors of the Greek steamer Koumoundouros, berthed at Walsh Bay, Sydney, Australia, flaunt caged birds purchased in South America and prohibited in the continent "down under."

Australia, still battling the pest of immigrant rabbits, has passed strict regulations against the introduction, without special permit, of exotic birds and animals. |
