Destruction of Elephants in Addo Bush. — The Rev. 

 J. R. L. Kingon moved, seconded by Prof. E. Warren : — 



That this Association views with great regret the decision of the 

 Provincial Administration to exterminate the herd of Cape elephants, 

 relics of a dying race now preserved in Addo Bush, and strongly urges 

 the desirability, in the interests of science and the future, of retaining at 

 least a small herd of this unique race ; that in the judgment of the 

 Association the destruction of the rogue' elephants, together with the 

 provision of an adequate supply of water, would efifectively serve the 

 ])urpose, and therefore strongly urges that the Administration should at 

 least give tliis solution a fair trial before proceeding to the extreme 

 action now proposed.
