6 THE SOCIETY FOR THE PRESERVATION OF 



"A subscription of 10s. per annum would cover 

 the cost of printing. This is the only expense the 

 society would have. 



" It is proposed to hold a meeting at the 

 Natural History Museum on December 11, at 

 4 p.m., to discuss the matter. 



" Knowing that you take an interest in this 

 subject, we trust that you will become a member of 

 the Society and be able to attend the meeting." 



A meeting was held on December 11, at the 

 Natural History Museum, with Mr. Buxton in the 

 chair. 



Great satisfaction was expressed on hearing 

 from the chairman that the memorial to Lord 

 Cromer and Sir Reginald Wingate had been en- 

 tirely successful, and that he had received a 

 telegram from Lord Cromer stating that the Order 

 had been made constituting an absolute sanctuary. 



It was resolved that a society be formed for 

 encouraging the preservation of the fauna through- 

 out the British Empire, and that the principal 

 officials in districts where game abounds be invited 

 to become honorary members. 



Attention was called to a report that the 

 British South Africa Company intended to grant 

 permission to the contractors constructing the rail- 

 way to Victoria Falls and beyond to kill game for 

 the purpose of feeding their workmen. 



It was resolved that the directors of the com- 

 pany be communicated with and that a memorial 

 be presented to them praying that such a course be 

 not adopted.
