CAT AND RAT EQUAL PESTS
Former Especially Have Wrought
Havoc Among the Smaller Native
Animals of Australia.

In the Monte Be1lo islands domestic
cats have most unfortunately been in
troduced, which do much damage
amongst the wallabies, and have ex-

thrive exceedingly wherever they are
introduced, growing to great size
They soon become wild and cunning,
and breed fast. 1t may be safely said
that these animals are doing more
damage than anything else to the ma
tive fauna of the Australian region;
indeed, the same remarks apply to
the greater part of the world. Cats
are carried almost universally on
small trading ships, with the idea that
they keep down rats. When they be-
come too numerous or otherwise OBJ
jectionable, they are simply marooned,
for to kill cat is considered among
the sailors as most unlucky.
The black rat is another introduced
species which does great harm. The
animal is found universally over the
Monte Bello group, even on the small
outlying islets, which are never Wis
tied, on which 1t occurs most album
dainty. Its presence is attributed to
a schooner which was wrecked some
twelve years ago, for it is well known
that this rat is a good swimmer. 1t
