CHUKOR ESTABLISHED
Tho spread of chukor in tlio country of tho Ashburton headwaters was mentioned at a meeting of tho North Canterbury Acclimatisation Society. Mr. T. Bain said that ho had been told that members of tho Ashburton branch of tho Canterbury Mountaineering Club had seen coveys of as many as 30 chukor together above Lake Heron recently. Lake Heron was outside the society's district, but it was good news to hear that the birds were established there. The„secretary said that Mr. J. R. 'rodhunter had estimated six months ago that there were 4000 chukor in the Ashburton gorge area.
