THE TRADE, 
By John D. Hamlyn. 
The arrival last week of the first Indian con- 
signment of small animals and birds since 1917 
deserve mention in this Magazine. 
The Import Restrictions were removed in 
January last, but it takes a long time to arrange 
imports when once stopped. This consignment 
consisted of 250 Monkeys, 13 Pandas or Cat 
Bears (I might say in passing this was a very 
unusual number to receive of these curious and 
interesting animals, specimens of which have 
already been purchased by Regents Park. Man- 
chester and Copenhagen), 32 Impeyan and Satyr 
Tragopans, Shamahs, Mynahs, Parrakeets and 
small birds, amongst which were some very hand- 
some Redheaded Buntings. The native in charge 
was not equal to the task of feeding Shamahs and 
Mynahs, for the mortality amongst these was 
great. The stock found ready buyers, in fact 
£780 worth was sold the first week, which con- 
stitutes a record these times, and goes to prove 
that The Trade will soon return provided the 
consignments are what is required by the Public 
to-day. Besides above sales, I hold orders for 
£500 worth of the stock still here. This first im- 
portation will therefore shew a good profit. 
The next consignment will be the one from 
South Africa, due about the end of this month. 
Particulars and prices will be found in the Price 
List accompanying this Magazine. A pair of 
Burchell's Zebras, some Meercats, most interest- 
ing creatures; it's a long time since any of these 
arrived, I expect a speedy sale for these pets. 
One Hyaena of a rare variety, some Porcupines, 
Baboons and Monkeys, finally a small collection 
of the rare Transvaal birds. 
The Indian mail brought particulars of a 
consignment now being shipped. I am sorry for 
the long delay in the arrivals of the larger animals. 
It is entirely due to shipping facilities. There 
will be 4 female baby Elephants. I am promised 
photographs by next mail and these shall duly 
appear in the next Magazine. 1 Tiger, 1 Black 
Leopard, 4 Leopards, 2 Leopard Cats, 1 Bear, 22 
Python Snakes, 200 Monkeys, Thibet Birds con- 
sisting of Yellow-fronted Fly-catchers, White- 
headed Shamahs, Niltaves, Rock Thrush, Cat 
Thrush, Bablers, etc., etc., Parrakeets, with gen- 
eral small birds. 
I receive from California this week 4 Sea 
Lions, which are sold to arrive. 
The above particulars of stocks are only given 
to shew that I am doing my best to bring the 
Trade back to the Old Country from which it 
originated a hundred years ago. 
I have a collector now on his way to Central 
Africa, his instructions are to bring back African
