REPORT 
REPORT, 1910 
The Committee in presenting their report for the first year 
of the Society’s existence congratulate the members upon 
the progress made, resulting in a membership of ninety -four. 
Owing to various causes over which they have had no 
control, there has been considerable delay in the publication 
of the Society’s Journals, the first number not being placed 
in the members’ hands until April 1, 1910, and the second not 
until April 1911. The principal cause of these delays has 
been the difficulty experienced in obtaining contributions for 
publication, and this difficulty, it is regretted, does not lessen 
as time goes on. In consequence of the delay in bringing 
out the first number it was deemed advisable to extend our 
first financial year to December 31, 1910, in order that members 
might not be called upon for further subscriptions until they 
had received at least two copies of the Journal. 
Journal No. 3 which is now placed in the members’ hands 
commences a new volume which, if our membership increases 
sufficiently to meet the necessary expense, and members 
help with contributions, it is hoped will consist of three numbers 
instead of two. 
An arrangement was made with Messrs. Jeevanjee and Co., 
in October 1909, to build a museum for the Society (according 
to drawings kindly made by Mr. Rand Overy) at a rental 
of £2 10s. a month, and this building was ready for occupation 
on August 16 last. Orders for several teak specimen cases 
have been given, amounting to £35 in value, and it is 
expected they will be ready by the time this report is sent to 
the publishers. 
His Excellency Sir Percy Girouard has given instructions 
to all provincial officers that heads of certain species of 
game are to be sent in, duplicates of which are to be placed 
in the Society’s Museum ; this will be a material help to the 
collection, particularly if sufficient funds can be raised to 
have the heads properly mounted. The Society is greatly 
indebted to His Excellency for this very practical evidence 
of his interest in the Museum.
