It is reported that, whilst whitebaiting in the Wairau River a few days ago, Mr. E. Cheosman caught a lamprey, a fish very rarely found in New Zealand walers (slates the '‘Marlborough Express”). The lamprey is an eel-like, scaleless fish with a sucker that enables it to cling to stones and other objects in the water, ft is said that the last specimen caught in the Wairau was lauded about -10 years ago.
