                      Historical and Revision Notes

    Based on section 27 of title 16, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Conservation, and 
title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Sec. 196 (May 7, 1894, ch. 72, Sec. 5, 28 
Stat. 74; Mar. 3, 1911, ch. 231, Secs. 115, 291, 36 Stat. 1130, 1167; 
June 5, 1924, ch. 260, 43 Stat. 388; June 28, 1938, ch. 778, Sec. 1, 52 
Stat. 1213).
    Section consolidates section 196 of title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., with 
a portion of section 27 of title 16, U.S.C., 1940 ed., with necessary 
changes in arrangement and phraseology. Reference to parts of 
Yellowstone National Park in Montana and Idaho is derived from said 
section 27. Other provisions of said section are incorporated in 
sections 631 and 632 of this title.
    A provision of section 196 of title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., for 
furnishing rooms and accommodations at Casper was omitted as obsolete, 
upon advice of the Director of the Administrative Office of the United 
States Courts that Federal accommodations are now available there.
    Provisions of section 196 of title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., for 
appointment of deputies and maintenance of offices by the clerk and 
marshal were omitted as covered by sections 541 [see 561], 542 [see 
561], and 751 of this title.
