You had a nice list there.  Unfortunately, when I tried to get the whole thing
(unabridged) from the URL you gave, it would not behave for me.  First I had to
patch it back together (no problem when one knows that needs to be done), but
even then, the site went to "document done" before two seconds were over, and
the screen was still blank.  I assume this is not right.  Two questions: 1/ Do
you have the unabridged copy in electronic format?  If so, are you in a position
such that you could email it to me? and 2/ Is it of a manageable size?  When you
say "large" I think several Mb, but other people no doubt have different
ideas....  :-)

I am interested in finding out what the conditions are rather than the legalese,
and also what species are in what list, "move by permit", ."move without
permit", don't move at all", and also how much of a temporary situation this
might end up being.

Thank you for whatever you might be able to do.
