54 THE SOCIETY FOR THE PEESEEVATION OE 



2. The present £50 licence for sportsmen travelling over larger 

 areas away from supplies, &c, enabling them to kill the same as 

 at present; or a .£.'60 licence, including a male buffalo, giraffe, and 

 eland, and an extra antelope or two if the number of species in 

 the districts traversed was limited. 



But this licence should not be issued to those who only shoot 

 from the railway. I think that as so many sportsmen shoot so 

 close to the railway they are allowed to shoot too much and 

 more than necessary, but if this limit were to be curtailed, the 

 cost of their licence should be reduced. 



The Regulations Lord Hindlip refers to are embodied in the 

 following Ordinance : — 



Game. 



IT is hereby enacted as follows : 



This Ordinance may be cited as 'The Game Ordinance, 1904,' 

 and shall be read as one with ' The East Africa Game Eegula- 

 tions, 1900,' hereinafter referred to as the principal Eegulations. 



2. — (1.) An occupier of land may take out a landholder's game 

 licence for the sum of 45 rupees, and may also take out a similar 

 licence at the same fee for any person permanently employed by 

 him in connection with the land. 



(2.) The licence shall only permit game to be hunted, killed, 

 or captured on land in the occupation of the holder of the licence 

 or of his employer. 



(3.) The licence shall not authorise animals mentioned in the 

 first Schedule or the females or young of animals mentioned in the 

 second Schedule to the principal Eegulations to be hunted, killed, 

 or captured. 



(4.) The licence will permit the animals mentioned in the 

 third and fourth Schedules to the principal Eegulations to be 

 hunted, killed, or captured, and the limitation on the number of 

 animals to be hunted, killed, or captured therein contained will 

 not apply. 



(5.) Except as otherwise provided in this section, the holder of 

 a landholder's game licence will be subject in all respects to the 

 provisions of the principal Eegulations. 



3. Where a person holding a landholder's game licence holds 

 also a settler's licence, animals killed or captured on his own 

 land under his landholder's licence shall not count towards the 

 number of animals he is entitled to kill under his settler's licence. 



4. The Commissioner may, in special cases, grant, at a fee of 

 150 rupees, a sportsman's licence to a person entitled to take out 

 a settler's licence, but such licence shall be deemed to have been 

 issued under the principal Eegulations. 



5. Not more than one fourteen-day licence shall be issued to 

 the same public oflieer between the 31st March of one year and 

 the 81st March of the next year.
