Sheep Inspector’s Office, Wellington.

Sir,—I have the honour to forward my report for the year ended 31st December, 1878.

The number of sheep in the Wellington Subdivision on 1st January, 1878, amounted to 113,569 over six months old. The assessment at ½d. each amounts to £247 0s. 4½d., being an increase over last year of 6,805 sheep, and assessment of £14 3s. 6½d. There is still the sum of £2 7s. 6d. owing on this return by Natives residing on the West Coast of the district.

In the early part of last year there were three flocks infected with scab; but I am pleased to report now that the flocks are all clean, and the subdivision is perfectly free from scab.

I have, &c.,

T. G. RICHARDSON,
Inspector of Sheep, Wellington.

The Hon. the Colonial Secretary.
