LORD HOWE ISLAND. WHAT RESEARCH INDICATES. CBt Emoteio Temgbafh—Oopteiqhi [United Press Association.] (Received 9.15 a.m.) Sydney, July 27. Professor Laurie has returned from a visit to Lord Howe Island. He states that the Island is a sanctuary for the mountain mutton bird, the tamest wild bird in the world. He discovered many scientific novelties including a new species of land shell, unknown to other parts of the world. His study of the Island's animals suggests New Zealand affinities, and coupled with the fact 'that the ocean between Lord Howe Island and New Zealand is shallower than between New Zealand and Australia causes him to believe that the Dominion and Lord Howe Island once formed part of a great continent.
