SEPTEMBER CERTIFICATE-OF-RECORD LIST

Dairy Division.

African Redwing Partridges.— The opinion of the Board of Agriculture was asked recently as to whether any objection would be raised to the introduction of the African redwing partridge into New Zealand. The Board agreed that there was no likelihood of this bird becoming a nuisance to agriculturists, and decided to offer no objection to such introduction.
