To stimulate interest at home and abroad in African problems and conditions.

To investigate the institutions, customs, religions, antiquities, history and languages of the Native races of Africa.

To facilitate the commercial and industrial development of Africa in the manner best fitted to harmonise the progress of its inhabitants with the welfare of the rest of the world.

It is non-political and while seeking to maintain a scientific outlook, aims specially at keeping the human interest in the forefront. Supplements to the Journal on subjects of special interest are published from time to time during the

CORONA CLUB.

The Corona Club was founded by Mr. Chamberlain in 1900 with the object of providing an annual opportunity for Officers on leave from the Colonies to meet socially with each other, the members of the Colonial Office, and retired officers of the Colonial Service.

In pursuance of this idea, an Annual Colonial Service Dinner is held, usually about the second or third week in June, under the presidency of the Secretary of State for the Colonies for the time being. The dinner concludes with a short speech by the Secretary of State, after which those present are enabled to move freely about and converse with the Secretary of State and with each other.

Membership of the Club is open to all past and present members of the Government service in the Colonies, Protectorates and Mandated Territories administered by the Colonial Office, and of the Colonial Office itself and the Office of the Crown Agents for the Colonies, irrespective of rank.

The annual subscription to the Club is 5s., which goes towards printing, clerical assistance and other necessary expenses, any balance being devoted to reduction of the cost of the dinner. A compounded payment of £2 28. secures life membership of the Club.

Full particulars may be obtained from the Honorary Secretary, C. J. Jeffries, C.M.G., O.B.E., Colonial
