INTRODUCTORY. 
vj_I/ must apologise to my readers for the very 
lengthy article, "Are we Wasting Tonnage?" 
should be pleased to receive assistance or 
advice from any of my readers on this important 
matter. I wish to point out to all subscribers that 
subscriptions for Vol. III., 1917 — 18, will be due 
with the next number. It is only 10/- post free. 
It is quite original. It is deserving of support 
from all of the "Animal and Pet World." 
Some most interesting articles are unfortun- 
ately crowded out through the unfortunate Ton- 
nage question. We all live in a World of Sur- 
prises, but nothing- astonished me more than to 
find the W r ild Animal question in Parliament. It 
has certainly amused the public, and seems to 
have interested the Members of the House of 
Commons. May it always continue so ! 
JOHN D. HAMLYN. 
ARE WE WASTING TONNAGE ? 
On the 27th January there appeared in "The 
World's Fair" an advertisement of future arrivals. 
The "Daily Mail," February 27th, contained the 
following letter : — 
ARE WE WASTING TONNAGE? 
To the Editor of "The Daily Mail." 
Sir, — One hears a great deal about the con- 
servation of shipping and what shall be im- 
ported and what shall be kept out of the coun- 
try. 
I am a reader with a somewhat vagrant 
mind, and I happened on this in a journal called 
the "World's Fair," dated January 27th : — 
Wanted to Sell.
