enumerated in section 3 of this title not inconsistent with this

Sec. 1, 38 Stat. 84.)
Codification
As enacted by act June 29, 1906, this section began with a clause
naming the park which was stricken out and inserted as the last sentence
of section 111 of this title.
A provision for the making of necessary rules and regulations by the
Secretary of the Interior has been omitted by reason of the reference to
section 3 of this title, derived from act Aug. 25, 1916, ch. 408,
Sec. 3, 39 Stat. 535, authorizing the Secretary of the Interior to make
and publish rules and regulations applicable to National Parks.
