232 REPORT ON THE OSTRICHES. 
" Wa. H. E.," from his knowledge of the subject, might 
desire to experiment with a few of them. I regret 
to say that my present residence being in Melbourne 
will prevent me from being able to give that personal 
attention to this matter which its importance demands. 
The Society may, however, rely upon my active 
co-operation and assistance where my services can be 
of use, and upon the warm interest which I shall 
always take in the cause of Acclimatisation.
