In the course of an interesting address in the Sydney Domain the other Sunday afternoon, Dr Stone-Wigg said that cannibalism 'was still a real thing in New Guinea, and not simply a yarn spun by the missionaries. To emphasise his remarks, he exhibited part of a skull, the relic of a cannibal feast, the details of which he described. While the red deer of New Zealand have so increased and developed as to enable that colony—in the view of the "Westminster Gazette" —to offer the finest reddeer shooting in the world, there has been a gradual deterioration of the red dieer in the Highland deer forests. This is ascribed mainly to the continuous inbreeding of years, and to the introduction of the repeating rifle, which allows the stags to be cleared off before they have had time to produce fine heads. The remedies proposed are the influx of new blood, and further restrictions of the numbers shot. The King is sending several stags from Windsor and Balmoral, and his example will probably be largely followed. The credit of the introduction of red deer into New Zealand is given by the "Westminster" to the Prince Consort, who half a century ago. presented the New Zealand Government with the animals which ni'iy yet become as serious a scourge as the rabbits or the Californian weed.
