The Mount Lofty Recreation Reserve. — In response to a com- 

 munication from the Secretary, a letter was received from Mr. 

 L. J. Milford, Honorary Secretary to the Committee taking- 

 charge of this Reserve, stating that his Committee would do all 

 in their power to prevent the destruction of shrubs and birds 

 upon the Reserve. 



Kangaroo District, No. 2. — The period proclaimed for the pro- 

 tection of kangaroos in the western portion of the colony having 

 expired, the Secretary wrote to the Commissioner of Crown 

 Lands suggesting an extension of the period for another term, 

 and on the 14th inst. he received an intimation that this request 

 had been complied with. A notice in the Gazette of the 9th inst. 

 proclaims an extension for two years from the 8th inst. as regards 

 this district, comprising the Crown Lands in counties Robinson, 

 Dufferin, Way, Kintore, and Hopetoun. 



Your Committee having last week observed a report of a 

 seizure in Victoria of a number of ducks, teal, &c, amounting to 

 some 3,000 head, which had been destroyed in the close season, 

 the Secretary wrote to the Commissioner of Crown Lands and 

 Survey, Melbourne, congratulating him on the seizure, and ex- 

 pressing the hope that adequate penalties had been imposed upon 

 the perpretators of such wholesale destruction. 



Your Committee, in conclusion, desire to express their thanks 

 to the Commissioner of Crown Lands, the Minister of Education, 

 and the Commissioner of Police for assistance given in carrying 

 out their aims.
