The kangaroo plague, says Hard

1T is stated that on a sheep run of &C, 000

killed annually for six consecutive
years. and yet their numbers remained
very formidable in the locality. In the
colony of South Australia hundreds Of

annually for their skins and the bonus
offered by the authorities The num-
bers Of these mar.upials in New South

1000, 900, and yet about 500, 0C0 lsanEa-
