ACCLIMATISATION.
(To the Editor oftlie Tuapeka Times). g rR> — Myself and a few neighbours are very anxious to be informed when the close season commences, as a number of thoughtless people in this district have lately been committing great havoc amongst the feathered tribes, and some anxiety is felt for the preservation of some imported birds, which have taken up their quarters in the rocky gorges of the Molyneux, a few miles below the Manuherikia. Two Herons and several Quail have been for some -time past, and if left unmolested, it is not at all unlikely the best thanks of the district will be deserved by the Acclimatisation Society for bringing such valuable birds into the province. The same can scarcely be said on behalf of the per.sons who have turned a number of rabbits loose in the same locality, as they have increased to a very great extent, and are becoming a pest to the owners of gardens, &c. While writing on this subject I am pleased to state that Mr. K itching has introduced a number of valuable Chinese and golden pheasants, which he has turned at liberty on the Moa Flat Station. — I am, &c, Acclimatisation".
