story to theieffect that the Maoris at Rag

want of better name, they call tani-
VIVA. 1t is about Il or 10 feet long and 2 or

natives in Raglan attending tangi, and
the capture has created the greatest ex-

birds and fishes and intend to place it on
exhibition as soon as a conveyance can be
obtained to transport it, The local scien-
tific men are somewhat skeptical respect

having secured a strange and possibly
unique specimen of animal life.
