UNWELCOME VISITOR
Snake Found in Bananas By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, December 13. Excitement reigned in a city fruit warehouse this morning when a brown Fijian tree snake, 20 inches long, was discovered among a banana shipment which was being unpacked. One workman, more daring than the others, picked it up with two sticks and dropped it in a tin. Later, one of the Auckland Museum staff arrived, chloroformed the snake, and took it to the museum.
