The Council of the Wellington Acclimatisation Society have received information from Mr Eoss, of Kapiti Island, that the Teneriffe partridges turned out there some time since are increasing in number, and that one of the old birds has been seen with a small covey of well-fledged young ones. These are the only Teneriffe partridges in the Colony. / The other birds liberated there are also doing well. As Mr Eoss allows no shooting on the island there is every prospect of the birds multiplying rapidly. During the year just closed 890,000 trout have been hatched out in the Society’s ponds at Masterton, and a large proportion of them have been placed in suitable streams throughout the district.
