According to Mr R. G. Bruce, of Rangitikei, rats are the real enemy of feathered game, and the weasel is the enemy of the rat. He expressed these views at the meeting of the Acclimatisation Society on Wednesday night, and quoted specific instances to show that the rat gives place to the weasel, which, in his district, at any rate, never touched feathered game. In Rangitikei, he added, pheasants were holding their own, but French partridges, which thrived for a time, had disappeared. A covey of Virginian quail had lately been seen in his vicinity, and he had reason to believe that there were some native quail which were supposed to be extinct.
