The partiality of natives for marine delicacies has led to the inauguration of a new r industry between the coast and Te Kuiti, large quantities of kina (sea eggs) being transported inland for distribution among the Maoris there. Each trip of the mail lorry about fifty dozen are conveyed to a ready market, where "they sell like hot cakes,” as a remunerative figure, and as the demand appears to‘ be as inexhaustible as the supply a brisk trade should follows the enterprise.— Kawhia Settler.
