Capital reports have been received from Paliiatua, Rngitikei;. Palinerston, Taihape, Waikanae, Otaki, Hutt, and Waiirai. The fish' aro said to be. very plentiful.

Several members of the society have been empowered to act as :honorary rangers, in order to protect as much as possible the interests of license-holders. '
