■#- 



I beg to give notice that all subscriptions are 

 now due for Vol. 6. Will my Subscribers for- 

 ward their 10/- subscription without any delay? 



An Apology. 



I must apologise to my numerous readers, for 

 the late appearance of this Magazine. Also for 

 many letters which were not answered with my 

 u<ual promptness. This has been caused by a 

 temporary breakdown in my health. 



The worries caused by my respective collec- 

 tors in various parts of the world have been 

 great. They seem to take a special delight in 

 forwarding me their passing troubles and sorrows 

 in whatever part of the world they might be. 



Their troubles are not my making. I cannot 

 be responsible for delays and strikes in shipping, 

 for delays in forwarding remittances, and whilst 



on this matter, I may say that it is nothing un- 

 usual to have a request for a thousand pounds 

 within a week, for they all seem to regard me 

 as a millionaire. 



I feel sure I have the sympathy of my readers. 

 The Magazine shall in future appear to. time and 

 all letters will be answered shortly. 



JOHN D. HAMLYN. 



The Trade. 



By John D. Hamlyn. 



Following the example of a new Magazine, I 

 am compelled to merge Numbers 1 and 2 of 

 Volume 6 in this number. 



I trust my subscribers will not be offended; 

 it has been caused by over pressure of work. 



The subscription remains the same : 10/- per 

 annum, notwithstanding the increased cost of 

 postage and printing. 



ARRIVALS 



are increasing. There has been an Indian con- 

 signment at Dundee consisting of a Tiger, Mon- 

 keys, and other small stuff. Mr. Harper is ex- 

 pected shortly with another consignment. 



The Zoological Society have received a val- 

 uable cargo of animals and birds from New York. 



The Edinburgh Society have also, received a 

 consignment. 



Odds and ends are continually arriving-. 



Australian stocks have arrived in France, but 

 I was not so foolish to purchase any at the ex- 

 horbitant price asked. Australian birds will be 

 very reasonable soon. Josephs, Foglia, Etable, 

 ali well-known travellers, are on their way. My 

 advice to all Amateurs is to make few purchases 

 at present.
