No. 79/149.

Sheep Inspector's Office, Dunedin.

SIR,—I have the honor to forward, for the information of the Government, the annual return of the number
of sheep in the Otago District for the year ending the 30th September, 1878.

Owing to the severity of the winter, it was impossible to procure the returns at the usual time, and I
was compelled to await the shearing tallies from the Southland Subdivision before compiling the report.
Many of these are only now to hand, shearing operations being late in that portion of the district where the
casualties are heaviest.

Although the present return may give an approximate of the number of sheep in the district, I fear
that a discrepancy will appear when the return under the present Act becomes due, which will give the
correct total. Of those owners who furnished approximate returns during September, many have found
their losses to be much greater than they anticipated.

The returns show a total of three millions four hundred and eighty-two thousand six hundred and sixty-
three (3,482,663) sheep, being a decrease, as compared with the returns for the previous year, of four
hundred and forty-five thousand eight hundred and thirty-seven (445,837).
There are depastured on freeholds, one million three hundred and forty-eight thousand nine hundred
and forty-nine (1,348,949); on runs, two millions one hundred and nine thousand two hundred and
eighty-nine (2,109,289); on hundreds, twelve thousand seven hundred and three (12,703); and on com-
monages, eleven thousand seven hundred and twenty-two (11,722).
