Millions of small green beetles, all drowned, covered the beach at Petane, near Napier, just about high water mark, having been washed up by tjie sea a few days ago. The place of their origin is a mystery, and it is impossible to tell how far they have been carried by the waves. Their numbers are such that if they have all been carried from one particular spot, says a Napier paper, they must have constituted almost a plague in that locality.
