A picturesque feature of the Makerua swamp is a floek of about 200 pukekos, who are to be seen frequently in the vicinity of the big mill (says the "Manawatu Daily Times"). These handsome birds have multiplied rapidly in the past year or two and have attracted a great deal of attention from visitors, many of whom go specially to see them. Mr A. Seifert has made the Mirauni property something of a sanctuary for the pnkeko, and is desirous of preserving the birds.
Two new portrait stamps have been issued by Japan of, the high values of five and ten yen. The design is typically Japanese,, and includes the Imperial chrysanthemum emblem above the portrait. These are the first new stamps issned ■ by Japan since the temporary series put in circulation after the great earthquake. The temporary series is likely to be withdrawn, as stamps in pre-earthquake designs are again in circulation.
