States the Eketahuna "Expreaß": A Kaiparoro party reeentrjr orjpniaed as * eel hunt and travelled the MaltalwH river for about half a mile. la this distance they caught 32 cell xa*ft>s * up to 14*lb in weight, and «««, wmk*. was considerably bigger than amy caught, they could not land.. One IMb eel when opened up was found to aavo a big trout, minus the head, inside el it. With eels aa plentiful as this ifc will be recognised that the detetian> tion of the Makakahi as a tares* tatiac river is unavoidable. Our iafomaat suggests that a remedy would bo 'S& parties to cover the whole reaieh of (he river in relays and catch alt the oefet - that could be secured; the trout might . then have a chance again.
