There was a very “circussy’ aroma issuing from the forehatch of the UKmaroa when that steamer tied up to Queen’s Wharf. Auckland, last week (states- ani exchange). She had rm board, housed down on the lower deck, thirty-five crates of flesh and fowls for Auckland Zoo. The largest of the new arrivals were two prettilymarked zebras, which were boxed in cases, about as big as one of those cases in which motor-cars are imported. Other inhabitants of tlhe hold were two springbok, two foxes, several monkeys, and dozens of birds, indud ng a couple of evil-looking vultures, two queer crows, two hornbills and smaller fry. There was also a polecat, and the ship’s people said that tho animal was not a bit libelled.
