10 THE SOCIETY FOR THE PRESERVATION OF 



encouraging the protection of the wild fauna in all 

 British possessions. The members regard it as one 

 of the heritages of the Empire, which, if it be once 

 lost, can never be replaced ; at the same time they 

 are anxious to avoid the impression that the princi- 

 pal administrators of our Colonies and Protectorates 

 are indifferent to the subject. On the contrary, 

 they are well aware that most, if not all, of thesi 

 servants of the Crown, wherever animal life abounds, 

 share their views of the importance of the question, 

 and have already in most cases initiated measures 

 for its protection. 



The Society appeals to them to assist it in dis- 

 seminating information on the question by furnish- 

 ing the honorary secretary from time to time with 

 facts bearing on the protection of species, the causes 

 of their increase or diminution, and the measures 

 taken to counteract the latter. 



Mr. Khys Williams, of 2 Temple Gardens, E.C. 

 has consented to act as Honorary Secretary.
