of enormous size have just been dis-
covered in an isolated and wild part
of hte gulf coast region of Texas by
George Finlay Simmons, former in-
structor in zoology at the University
of Texas. In them were touud nest-
ing thousands of birds of a species
which were not heretofore known to
make their rookeries in Texas. Some
of them were not known to exist any-
where in the United Slates, except in
limited numbers perhaps in inacces-

A law regulating tile sale of stocks.
Including an Increase of capital stock,
and the sale of bonds or debentures,
has been passed by the legislature of
the State of Texas. It requires a fil-
ing of an application with the secre-
tary of state as a condition precedent
to tiie sale of same, and authorizes
the secretary of state to make an In-
vestigation before a permit is eranted,
and makes It a felony to sell either
bonds, stocks, or debentures without
obtaining such permit from said of-
ficer. It also regulates the issuance
of such securities. The penalties are
severe, in that they authorize con-
finement in the penitentiary for the
extreme limit of ten years ,if said
law is violated, but provides that said
regulation does not apply to banking
corporations or private banks, build-
ing and loan associations, nor to the
sale of stocks, debentures, or other
securities where It is shown that the
concern ‘has been a solvent going
concern for a period of two years
next preceding the date’ of the appli-
cation required by the law, upon sat-
isfying the secretary of state that
“such condition of solvency exists at
the time.’’ It is known as house bill
No. 177. as amended by the senate
and passed by the second called ses-
sion of the Thirty-Eighth Legislature
of Texas.
