As a result the whole breed Is being reduced, the average weight of tusks being eight pounds less today than before the World war. Hippopotami and rhinoceroses, gorillas and antelopes were also fast disappearing from certain districts, while certain varieties of small and gay-plumaged birds formerly plentiful In the Congo are now seldom seen except on women's hats. More severe enforcement of existing hunting regulations and the taking of new and stronger measures for the preservation of big game by marking out forest reserves where hunting would be forbidden. Is being advocated. Htgh-Grade Kangaroo* The most Intelligent variety of kangaroos live In trees and are found _?1.. |? 4 VU1J 1U UUILI1 AUBliaiiK, M?.VIU1U| IV a writer In the Sydney Bulletin.
