AUCKLAND ACCLIMATISATION SOCIETY.

The ordinary meeting of the council of the Auckland Acclimatisation Society was held at the Museum Buildings yesterday afternoon, Mr. E. Burtt, chairman, presiding. Accounts: The statement of accounts showed a cash credit balance in hand of £246 13s lOd, which, with deposits in banks, brought the available funds to £365 Os lid. Trout for Upper Thames: Mr. H. Roche, of Waihi, wrote asking the society, when distributing trout fry, to allocate five thousand fry for liberation in the streams in tho Upper Thames districts. The matter was referred to the committee appointed to deal with the distribution of fish. Jungle Fowl: A letter was read advocating the introduction into New Zealand of the Indian jungle fowl. It was decided to write I to India, with a view of ascertaining the cost of importing a few pairs of birds for breeding purposes. Scarcity of Trout : Mr. F. Earl stated that for a couple of seasons he had been fishing in the streams about Okoroirc, and in certain j of them had found that there wore practic- ! ally no small fish at all, while the takos of j larger fish had been very poor. He urged i that before the society started distributing I yearling trout broadcast, they should see j that these streams were well and regularly I stocked, as large numbers of sportsmen were I attracted to Auckland from other parts, and i it would not do to allow the streams to get | a bad name. Other members agreed with j Mi. Earl as to the poor wort in some of the streams, and the necessary attention will be j given to stocking. Mr. Earl drew attention . to the great destruction by shags of young ■ trout in some of the streams about Okoroire, i and suggested that an effort should be made < to abate the nuisance by the society offering ; so much per head for shags. After discus- j sion, it was decided to vote a sum of £10 [ to the destruction of shags, the amount to bo further supplemented if found necessary.
