WEKAS AND KIWIS
A TRAPPING GRIEVANCE.
A correspondent, writing from Hokitika, asks if nothing can bo done to prohibit the trapping of opossums on the ground as wekas and khvis are constantly paying the death penalty from this cause. "As trappers are going further and further afield each year one can only expect kakapo will also suffer," says the correspondent. "I am very much afraid that after all the enemies our ground wekas have survived against. they are now going to be exterminated by these traps, although it is contrary to the law to set opossum traps on the ground where wekas and kiwis are to be found."-
