Scully (Buller) at the half-yearly meeting of the council of the South Island Acclimatisation Societies at- Timaru, when members were discussing rates to be paid for the extermination of vermin.

On the suggestion of Mr. H. G, Williams (Otago), it was decided to eliminate Hvild cats from the list of vermia.
