MALLARD DUCKS
To The Editor Sir, —At the last meeting of the Acclimatization Society the matter of ducks in the reserve was brought, up. It had been understood also that Mallard duck shooting was to be referred to. The question is, are these Mallards protected or not. The licence merely j mentions grey ducks, but it is well I known that lots of Mallards were shot. | If they are not protected the public should be notified.—Yours, etc., LICENCE HOLDER. July 15, 1940. [The president of the Southland Acclimatization Society, Mr S. M. Macalister, states that Mallard ducks, being imported game, are protected.]
