NATIVE BIRDS
PLEA FOR PRESERVATION. J ...The- B, h' ds of New Zealand" was the ll. fcle _ of Mr. E. E. Stead's lecture last night delivered under the auspices of the Wellington Acclimatisation Society. Tho conference hall of the Dominion Farmers' Institute was well filled by an appreciative audience who listened with close attention to an exceedingly interesting lecture, a feature of which was the number of beautiful lantern slides exhibited. 'When I lecture to you,", said Mr. Stead, in his introductory remarks, "I do so largely in the hope that I may interest others who will help,in the preservation of our native birds. There are many indications that our birds are at the partlug of the ways. Some may survive, but a certain number will go to the wall, and join those already gone. I lecture in the hope of interesting people, and in the hope that those birds which cease to exist in certain localities, when they come back will be treated as friends and not as curiosities." Tho lecturer dealt most interestingly with birds in general and individually, and emphasised the desirability of doing all that is possible to encourage the native birds before it is too late to save them from extinction,
