ANIMAL LIFE IN SYRIA.

We desire to draw attention to the admirable report on the above-mentioned subject, which has been drawn up by the Hon. Mrs. Charlton, and is obtainable from Captain E. G. Fairholme, Secretary, R.S.P.C.A., 105 Jerrnyn Street, London, S.W. 1. Owing to Mrs. Charlton's initiative a Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has been formed in Damascus. The Society is greatly in need of funds. Contributions should be sent to Captain Fairholme, at the above address, marked " Mrs. Charlton's Fund."
