On her last cruise to the southern lighthouses, the Government steamer Tutanekai anchored near beaches where sea lions were seen in large numbers (reports the Auckland Star). Six of these interesting creatures were captured by members of the crew, and they were brought safely back to New Zealand. Three of them were presented to the Auckland Zoo, and they are now in the pond as companions to the specimen that has been there for some months. The new arrivals are somewhat lighter in colour than the first.
