The limit was taken during the last days of the season. Ducks are plentiful this year, but owing to the Ist May being very fine no very large bags were shot. Bags reported were: Three.guns, 57; three guns, 53; two guns, 20; four guns, two days, 102. Hares are fairly numerous, but quail are getting scarce.
