HAMLYN’S MENAGERIE MAGAZINE 
has received during the past month many notable 
new subscribers, amongst which I am pleased to 
say is Mr. H. D. Astley of Brinsop Court, The 
Cincinnati Zoological Society, and also many of 
the original subscribers. 
I am pleased to state that many enquiries 
are now received for back volumes, principally 
from the United States. 
Some of the old numbers are very scarce, 
and the prices meationed on back cover are the 
lowest possible to Trade or otherwise. There : re 
still many of the 1917—18 subscribers to forward 
their subscriptions for 1918—19. Will they kindly 
do so by return? It will then bring the actual 
number of paying subscribers to 100—this has 
been my ambition ever since the Magazine was 
started. 
Some few complimentary numbers are sent in 
exchange and for services rendered; also to the 
many Government Institutions and Societies, all 
of which are greatly appreciated by them. 
I have still a good supply of readable Zoo- 
logical matter; still I am too pleased to receive 
at all times photographs and articles to interest 
my readers. 
This is our lifth Year and it is my intention 
that the Magazine shall sustain its justly deserved 
reputation.

THE TRADE. 
By Joun D. Hamiyn. 
Trade during the past month has been every- 
thing that could be desired. 
The one fearful obstacle in the way of the 
Animal Trade in Great Britain is the great un- 
willingness of the various Steamship Companies 
to provide freight space for all Live Stock home- 
ward. If my various agents could have shipped 
the collections on the Coast, I should indeed have 
had a record month. 
The Calcutta consignment is actually on the 
way, and should be very close here by the time 
this appears in print. Full particulars with prices 
are sent on the Price List accompanying this 
number. It is very disastrous to receive live 
stock in August when at the latest it should have 
arrived here in May and June. Still disappoint- 
ments are numerous in the naturalist business, 
and they all add to my enjoyment of life!
