An unfamiliar deep sea fish which may be a sea-snake- was caught on a line in Mercury Bay, and is now being exhibited at Thames. It is over eight feet long, and has a peculiar mouth and a sharppointed head.- It has been frozen, with a view to ascertaining its species. The fisherman who caught it has had many years’ experience on the New Zealand coast, but he states that it is different from anything he has previously seen. A strange visitor at North New Brighton on Thursday was a large seal which claimed the attention of visitors and residents and numerous children, when it was discovered gasping high and dry on the sand. The children amused themselves by timidly pulling the seal’s tail. The animal had appeared on the beach the night before about a mile further along, but he took to the sea again to come ashore later about half a mile north of the bathing sheds. Eventually the visitor made his way laboriously by means of his flippers to the water, and disappeared among the breakers.
