INTRODUCTORY. 
Notwithstanding the War, the increased cost 
of paper, the shortage of labour, and a multitude 
of other troubles, "Hamlyn's Menagerie Maga- 
zine" still continues to exist and flourish. There 
is no intention of curtailing the size of the Maga- 
zine, in fact, I have serious intentions of enlarg- 
ing it shortly. The sales at Messrs. Smith and 
Son's bookstalls are encouraging. The quantity 
of interesting matter sent in from all parts of the 
world is astounding. Many subscribers are com- 
plaining that several articles promised at the 
commencement of the Magadine have not yet 
appeared. The two articles, "How I became a 
Naturalist," and "Why I went to the Clongo," 
are now in print. I trust the Magazine has given 
general satisfaction; if so, I ask you, kind reader,, 
to become a subscriber.

Dr. William O. Stillman, President, Albany, 
.Y., writes as follows: — 
" I am pleased to receive your note of 
May, 1916, enclosing a copy of 'Hamlyn's 
Menagerie Magazine. ' We shall be much in- 
terested in the article in regard to' plumage 
which w'ou have kindly marked, and I have 
enjoyed reading the article on the jackal as 
a household pet. I wonder whether there 
would be any difficulty in my subscribing for 
this Magazine. There seems to be consider- 
able curious information in it."
