Sixty bona tide Subscribers in six months — 
May to October — is certainly something to bo 
proud of, considering the Magazine was launched 
at the very worst possible time. 
I have no Advisory Committee or Honorary 
Members to advocate the cause of the Magazine. 
It is an interesting Magazine which will supply a 
long-felt want amongst all lovers of the Animal 
and Bird creation. 
Articles are on hand and are promised by the 
Leading Collectors and Dealers of the world. I 
am u<ll aware the success of the Magazine has 
grievously disappointed many who should have 
been the 'first to lend a helping hand to a most 
laudable undertaking. Letters of encouragement 
aii received weekly from all parts of the globe. 
One serious mistake was made when the sub- 
scription was reduced from 10/- to 6/- per annum. 
In view of the increased cost of postage, the sub- 
scription will revert to it s. original figure — 10/^ — at 
the rommenccment of the Second Volume, five 
months hence. Only single copies can be supplied 
at 6d. per copy. All subscriptions sent in during 
the next live months will commence from No. 1. 
About 140 new subscribers are required to place 
the Magazine on a paying basis. I led confident 
I shall secure them. 
The subscription for No. 1 to 12 is 6/- per 
annum, post free, under cover. The monthly dis- 
tribution to all parts of the world amounts to some 
1,2.00 copies; this is with a view to obtain new 
Subscribers. 
Advertisements are inserted at very reason- 
able rates. 
If you have not already sent in your &/- sub- 
scription, might I respectfully ask you to do so?
