Owing to Mr. Andrew having removed from Adelaide, 

 Mr. J. N. McGilp was elected Hon. Secretary in his stead. 



The committee has found that gradually the public are 

 awakening to the necessity of preserving our Fauna and Flora ; 

 in this connection mention might be made of the receipt of 

 a letter from Mr. Sinclair asking that a large area on Eyre 

 Peninsula, i.e., Hundred of Flinders, be set apart as a Reserve 

 for Kangaroos and Emus. As Mr. Sinclair is the largest lease- 

 holder in this Hundred, the committee had no hesitation 

 in supporting, and has asked the Minister of Industry to do 

 everything possible to carry out Mr. Sinclair's wish. 



The committee calls the attention of all Nature lovers to 

 the fact that Thistle Island, near Port Lincoln, is for sale. 

 This, it is thought, could be purchased at a reasonable price, 

 and as it is an admirable spot for protecting our animals, a 

 good opportunity is presented for anyone interested to start 

 a private reservation, as is now common in the United States 

 of America. 



J. Neil McGilp. Hon. Secretary. 



September 20, 1921.
