The Acclimatisation Soeity's annual report for the year, speaks despondently 'of the results of the acclimatisation m regard to fish, birds, and animals, except small birds and hares. The brown trout has been fairly successful, though m some streams quite.a serious depopulation has been going on. In lakes Wakatipu and Hay very large trout; are numerous; but they are gadually poached. With regard to English salmon ! no reliable information has been obtained I nor has any Californian salmon been seen, though introduced five years ago. > Pheasants and partridges have become so scarce asjto lead to the conclusion that much poaching goes on. Black game, which was turned out m 1879, bag not j been seen at all during the year. j
