FOREIGN COLLECTING.
The Honourable the Minister of Internal Affairs is to be •congratulated on the stand he is now taking with reference to this matter. The Department’s policy in future will be that permission to take native birds will not be granted to persons not resident within the Dominion, and that if at any time it is decided to supply specimens to persons or institutions outside the Dominion, such specimens will be taken only by Government officers. Consideration was also promised by the Minister that authority to kill certain protected birds will be declined.
