With reference to your letter of the 10th

May, No.20674, I have the honour to enclose for the

information of the Secretary of State, a copy of a

letter from Messrs howland Ward, Ltd. relative to the

condition of the tiger skin sent home from Hong Kong.

We have seen the skin and have told the firm to take

certain preliminary steps for its preservation, but

it seems doubtful whether it will be fit to stuff as

complete animal, although it may be possible to save the

head.

The Under Secretary of State,

&C..

Colonial Office.

I have the honour to be,

Sir,

Your obedient servant,
