game licence mentioned in " A.”
(c) Sixteen free elephant licences were issued as in "B" (15 animals were
killed).

Europeans who live to the north of the road mentioned, or those having bonâ fide occupation there, are also granted the ordinary game licence free.
(9) Last year's procedure regarding licences and shooting is being carried out this year as approved by the Acting Administrator's telegram of 5th January last.
