136 FISHES I HAVE KNOWN 



salt water native fish — groupers of 112 lbs., 

 yellow-tails 6 feet long and 120 lbs. weight, and 

 giant cavallos, also eels of great size and abun- 

 dance. The trout fishing is practically free ; and 

 truly New Zealand has become one of the world's 

 angler's paradises, of which, alas ! there are but 

 few left.
