"The Nook," Melrose Avenue, Cricklewood, N.W., March 8, 1907.
I HAVE the honour to inform you that it will be necessary in the course of my investigation to shoot any wild animals that are suspected by me of being carriers of blood diseases. I would therefore request that arrangements may be made for the issue to me of any licences under the laws of Northern Nigeria which may be necessary for this purpose; and that such licences may be granted free of charge.
Having been informed that there is a shortage of tents in the Protectorate, I have purchased one of rot-proof green cloth or canvas, 9 feet by 7 feet, at 129s. 6d. ; and as this item was not included in my outfit allowance I shall be glad to have the amount refunded.

the honour to inform you that the Society for the Preservation of the Fauna of the Empire have represented to me the desirability of raising the limit for immature ivory (11 lbs.) fixed by Section 7 (1) of the Uganda Game Ördinance.
2. In this connection I have the honour to transmit to you the accompanying copy of a letter from Colonel W. H. Brown* and a copy of a letter from Mr. Wilson, to whom the matter was referred when he was recently on leave of absence in this country.
3. The question appears to me to be one of considerable importance, and I request that you will farnish me with your views upon it.
