PLYMOUTH TRIBUNAL. 
BOSTOCK AND WOMBWELL'S 
MENAGERIE, PLYMOUTH, 
Thursday, July 27th, 1916. 
Bostock and Womb well 'si Menagerie was the 
subject of an application by Mr. I. Foot, who 
gave an interesting description of the exhibition 
and its necessity as an educational institution. 
He claimed that it instructed the dising genera- 
tion in natural history, but as the show was at 
present at Winchester the risk of withdrawing 
five men for attendance at this Tribunal was con- 
siderable. One was in charge of a 2^ ton hippo- 
potamus, to whom he had evidently been a second 
father, whilst another was purveyor to the Garni 
vora, who might resent his absence since no one 
else could provide their menu, and it was not 
desired that they should appease their hunger 
with school children. There would be difficulty 
in closing down the show, and it was not desira 
ble toi kill off the animals. 
The Tribunal could not concede the points 
altogether that the show was necessary to national 
education or that it was advisable to travel up 
and down the country at the present time. Ex 
emption was, however, granted until December 
1st for all five men as* equally part and parcel of 
it. 
TRAGIC FIGHT WITH GIANT APES. 
A vivid story of an orang outang hunt in 
Borneo, in the course of which four men were 
killed, one crippled for life, and another seriously 
injured, is related in a Surabaya journal received 
in Amsterdam by the last mail from the Dutch 
Indies. 
Charles Mayer, an Austsralian dealer in wild 
animals, having recently arrived in Borneo on a 
collecting expedition for several European zoos, 
set out for the Landak River region with the
