Sir,-You were good enough to publish for the benefit of your ronders several edlumns of an inter- esting and instructive address on Birds and Boasis in Hong Kong " and perhaps your interest in such waiters would lend you to give some space to the following naturo notes written by one who can make no claim to being a naturalist.

When dealing with the animals of Hong Kong, I notice that no men. tion was made of several specios that are peculiar to Hong Kong. Take for instance the peculiar type of Bull that one encounters here. No naturalist would recognise, the species but for the existing of some very hardened beare, whose ona de- light seems to bo to corner the Bull. Anyone interested in these two species is invited to visit Shark's Alley. I think the two species of Bull and Bear are resident here and although some of them migrate to other climes in the hot weather, They return annually to the Colony whore their work consist chiefly of building bank balances,

Then there is another creaturo for which I have not found a name.

As for snakes, I know of a man who has seen as many as 1,172 green ones on the wall of his house at the same time: They looked ferocious but were really harmless and although most of them threatened to bito, none of them actually did 80, as the man found. no marks on Some of sible for the Chairman not to refer himself in the noming.
