CROCODILE BARRED
IMPORTATION FOR SHOW ANIMAL PERMITS SOUGHT (Pal- Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. Commenting on the number of applications received for the importation of animals, both wild and tame, the Minister of Internal Affairs, the Hon. W. E. Parry, said a request made recently for a permit to land a full-sized crocodile for show purposes had been declined. Monkeys gained much favour from many New Zealanders, particularly ladies, who had travelled abroad, but their destructive habits had to be taken into account. Among the birds the budgerigar and parrot of Australia came easily first in popularity, but they could not be admitted to the Dominion at present because of the danger of disease being brought in.
