ACCLIMATISATION SOCIETY,

The council of the Feilding Acclimatisation Society met last nigTit, Mr F. H. Stockwell, the president, being in the chair. Also present were Messrs E. Ingram, AA 7 . J. Alpe, E. H. Lange, T. Burno, J. Hurdle, D. G. Fraser, C. J. Wickham and P. P. Stevens. Reporting on the fry which had been received from the Hawke’s Bay Society, the president said that although the fish were not so largo as had previously been received, they were in splendid condition, and Mr Stockwell was pleased to be able to state that the liberation had been 100 per cent, successful. Mortality among the fry had been almost nil and, thanks to the co-operation of members of the council, the fry had been liberated over a much wider area of the district streams and rivers than had usually been the case. Mr Wickham, the secretary, referred to the services which Mr H. Hope had rendered the society in regard to the liberation, and on his motion Mr Hope was accorded a vote of thanks.

Regarding rabbit poisoning operations being carried out by the Knviten Rabbit Board, it was decided to request the inspector of the board not to lay phosphorised pollard in localities where pheasants were known to be present. The council decided to convey the same request to the board.
