Preservation of Wild Flowers.

Quite recently the authorities! took steps to prevent the hill { aides from being stripped of some eight or nine different species of flowers, by making additions to flie condtions of hawkers' licen- ces, the opinion, evidently, being bold that the flower sellera in Wyndham Street were the princi- pal, sinners. It will have been noticed, however, that this method of dealing with the matter has failed, for only the other day a man was arrested with some

of the forbidden flowers in his possession, and, when it came to drawing up the charge, it was found that he could not be pro- ceeded against insemuch as he was not a licensee! This point Ishould have occurred to those re-

sprasible for the now measures takon, and we hope to see the point adequately covered by its being made an offence for ung hody to be in possession of these flowers.
