THE JOURNAL 
OF THE 
EAST AFRICA AND UGANDA 
NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY 
VOL. I. No. 1. JAN. 1910. 
NOTES BY THE HONOBABY SECBETABY 
After considerable delay caused by various circumstances 
over which the Committee have had no control, the first number 
of the Society’s Journal is herewith presented to the members. 
The initial work in a publication of this kind is very con- 
siderable, and, in addition, delay has been occasioned through 
several articles promised by members not having been received 
up to the time of going to press, but the Committee are hopeful 
that our first number having now been published, there will 
be no further difficulty in obtaining from members contributions 
of articles, notes, and correspondence for the Journal. 
The tendency in similar official publications seems to be 
to allow the burden of contribution to devolve upon a few 
members only, but it is confidently expected that such will 
not be our experience, and that each member will make a point 
of sending in something of interest during the year for publica- 
tion in our columns, and in this connexion it seems almost 
needless to remind members that the success or otherwise of 
the Journal rests entirely in their hands. 
As will be seen by the list of members, our first year’s 
existence has resulted in a membership of sixty-four, which is 
regarded as very satisfactory, but if the expectations of the 
Committee are to be fulfilled and their plans carried out, we shall 
require a membership of at least one hundred, or, in other 
words, an annual income of £100.
