Protecting Australian Animal.

At the present rate OF eItermina-
tion Australians narsupials will have
practically disappeared within 20
years. says DR.. Colin Mackenzie, in
an article In the Melbourne Argus.
The revival OF shipping after the war
with Its opportunities for exporters. is
giving point to his warning. and 1t Is
probable that some steps VIII be
taken to control the export of live
specimens of Australian fauna o. OF
skiHs.
At present the protection Of Aus
trnlian animals IL purely Il state mat
ter. though the commonwealth has
customs regulations prohibiting the
export OF certain skins and of the
feathers of specified birds. The
1uiQue character of Australian mar
supials has long been recognized by
the geological gardens OF the world.
and It Is not likely that legitimate
exchanges between zoos will be pro
hibited by any Australian protective
regulations.
