The averaga man in the street is not very Jikely to develop any enthusiasm over the question whether Fiji aver formed part of the Australian (or Austral-Papuan) Continent, interesting as the matter may be to scientistse He might take a languid interest in an announcement that connection by land was to be established again, and that a line of tram- way was to be run across the Intervening isthmus, especially if he happated to be unemployed, and the line was to be built by day labour. But he does not care a jot about whether the native Australian, hundreds of years ago was able to chase wallabies half- way, or all the way, from here to Suva.

Forms of fresh water life, Mr. Goddard saysı; he found exceedingly interesting, and very well. represented. The remark applies to life in general-fish and other forms of fresh-water existence, the specimens, though (which have been brought back in bottles of spirits) were mostly small.
SNAKES IN FIJI The majority of the forms of vertebral life. have been rendered almost or quite extinct by the ravages of the mongoose, which was intros duced some years ago from fedia.
"Are there any tankes in Fiji, or can. Viti. lovu be classed with Ireland in that respect asked the "Evening News" reporter.
"There are some snakes," replied Mr. God dard, "but they are very rare, We saw bone while we were there. There are still some free snakes, and others, which, I understand, some times reach a length of 6ft. None of the Fijian snakes were ever venomous.” VA

Hardly so bad as that," said the scientists smiling, though there is a species of crab Fiji which is credited with a playful diaposte tion that is said to prompt it to climb cocoanut. trees, and throw the nuts at the people below.W The reporter acknowledged that he was outs classed by Mr. Goddard in toological know ledge.
That crab," continued Mr. Goddard, H a large variety, which climbs the trees, bites the stalks of the nuts, so that they falz the ground: Teay that he throws themy persons underneath is, of course, an exaggera tion."

The zoningist said that the expedition had only found one frog while in Fiji." He was not yet able to say (as Smiles asked of the celo. brated jumper) whether there were any poiply about him which made him different to any other frog, but he had him in a 'bottle, sody would discover all that was to be found about?" him later on, when he got an opportunity 30% examine him in the laboratory
The botanical life of the islands, Mr. God dard explained, has been very well lavestigated by Siemens, so that he paid most attention dur ing this trip to the zoológical branch of his work..
