A USEFUL ALLY
Many of the New Zealand soldiers serving in the fly-infested areas of the Western Desert have a very useful little ally, according to a letter received in Christchurch from Private F. Marshall, formerly of Hokitika. It is the chameleon, which is found on small bushes growing in the desert. “It sits on the bri,m of my hat all day long, swating flies with a tongue about seven inches long,” writes Private Marshall.
