this port during the month from outside
the Territory brought a total of 1902
parcels of which SO came in the mails,

the usual manner.

arriving from the Orient because of
our comparative ignorance of the eco
homie insect fauna of that quarter of
he globe, are invariably subjected 20
he cyanide fumes.
''Our attention has been attracted
by the large quantity of worm-eaten,
cabby potatoes reaching this port. On
previous occasions we were compelled
