Tlierft are no otlipr species which I believe need 

 protection. 



The " Paille-en-qiiene " is I am aware occasional- 

 ly shot by thoughtless persons, but this species has a 

 very wide range over the whole of the Indian Ocean 

 and I believe the Pacific as well, so that if it was ex- 

 terminated here, it would not be lost as a species to 

 the world, as would be the case if five, out of the six 

 species I propose should be protected were extermi- 

 nated. 



I remain, 



Your very sincerely 



Edwahp NEWTON.
