AUCKLAND ISLANDS' FLORA AND FAUNA.
AUCKLAND, 26th January. Scientists interested in the preservation of our indigenous flora and fauna were displeased at tho recent leasing of the Auckland Inlands by the Government for the purpose ot raising stock. At to-day's meeting of the board of the New Zealand Institute the matter was referred to by the president (Mr. A. Hamilton), who remarked that the small rental (under £50 a year) did not give a return for the disadvantages due to the stocking of the islands. The institute had itself tried to get a lease of the islands, but was too late, as matters had then gone too far.
