In reference to the destruction of shags, the Department of Internal Affairs makes the following comment: “Owing to damage done to the fisheries by shags, the payment of a royalty at the rate of 2s (id per head for shags killed in the Rotorua and Taupo districts was continued, and a total of 748 shags were thus paid for. There has been a good deal of comment in various quarters as to whether the shag is quite as bad as he >is painted, it being argued in some directions that lie is possibly of assistance to fisheries. But there would not appear to be much doubt that as far as the thermal district. at all events, is concerned, he would not be missed if he were to be entirely exterminated, as, among other things, the bird is known to be the intermediate host of the wireworm.”
