World’s Zoological Trading Company, Limited, 
which advertises for men to take part in hunting 
and trapping expeditions in Africa. Those who

mission they must subscribe £500 for shares in

good investment. It is in consequence of this 
condition that I have been asked for advice. The 
register at Somerset House shows that the com-

capital of £50,000, to acquire from Mr. J. A. Jor- 
dan, one of the directors, certain rights granted 
to him by the Colony of the Belgian Congo and 
that it has entered into an agreement with Mr. 
Robert Leadbetter, another director, to pay him 
£1,000 a year for the use of cages and apparatus
