The Administration performed great deeds through its good management and its determination to suppress slavery. The decision was made for the Administration to seize this opportunity and report to the Sudan government. I previously stated when I referred to this transfer last November that the new method is better than the old method when the Administration's headquarters was in Khartoum and its reference was to the Ministry of Interior in Cairo, not to the Sudan government. That method was not sufficient because it led to a division of labor between the Administration and the Sudan government, repetition of some work, and disorder and confusion. The new method will result in economy and increased efficiency, as instead of a small force being assigned the work, the entire government administration in Sudan will be involved. This will increase the guarantees that the fight against this abominable trade will continue with the utmost zeal and activity.

«21» - Protection of Hunting The animals hunted by hunters last year were not disclosed, but it appears that the total is less than the total for 1909. The Administration's revenues were estimated at 3300 Egyptian pounds, and its expenses at about 1400 Egyptian pounds.

Mr. Potter, the Director of the Administration, says that the annexation of Lado Province to Sudan brings the entire region where rhinoceroses are found under the administration and supervision of the Sudan government. He suggests that killing this animal, which is one of the largest living animals and the most magnificent, should not be permitted except for scientific purposes, so that hunters do not profit from hunting it. The government has now prohibited the killing of this animal. The Lado Province has few animals, but hunters have depleted the wild animals there in recent years. Therefore, the government does not wish to allow hunters to hunt and shoot in that region now.
