32 THE SOCIETY FOE THE PRESEBVATION OE 



Africa, where there are two reserves : one is on the railway—the 

 railway passes alongside of it, as I understand, which gives great 

 advantage for inspection— and the other is remote, in the north.. 

 We do not ask that you should do the one and neglect the other ; we 

 ask that you should attend to both ; but the one which is of far the 

 greatest consequence is the one already in contact with civilisa- 

 tion, and we beg that you will not too hastily abandon, for the 

 sake of a small increase of revenue, what will bo immensely valued 

 by a future generation. (' Hear, bear.') 

 We thank you very much, my Eord. 



(The Deputation withdrew.)
