little amiss with them, and I am in hopes
they will be cured in a very few months.

The sheep being nearly all clean, I would
urgently advise an alteration in the Sheep
Ordinance, to prohibit all diseased sheep
from being landed in the Province.

By the introduction of such stock the
disease will spread again, and there would
be a great difficulty in getting them cleaned,
from many of the runs having bad bounda-
ries, and numbers of them heavily stocked.

When collecting the returns I had an
opportunity of seeing the Upper Taieri and
Manuherikia. Although thinly grassed, it
is a fine and healthy dry country; when
well grazed it will be equal to any portion
of the Province for stock.

I have the honour to be, &c.,

Wm. Logie,
Inspector of Sheep, Northern District.

His Honor the Superintendent.

N.B.—Since receiving the returns I have
had information that the scab has broken out
in a flock of sheep at Barewood (Sutton’s
trustees).

SOUTHERN DISTRICT.

Dunedin, 26th October 1859.

SIR—In laying before you my returns for
the present year, allow me to observe
that they are of a very satisfactory nature.

You will perceive that the increase upon
the gross amount of my last return is about
45 per cent. There have been about ten
(10) thousand sheep brought into this dis-
trict during the past year, of which, I am
sorry to say, upwards of four thousand have
proved diseased. As, however, active
measures are being taken to cure them, I
sincerely hope that no serious mischief will
result from their introduction.

The proclamation of the Hundreds and
the reservation of the 2000-acre Blocks for
sale has been of great service to the sheep
in my district, the land comprised in them
being much more adapted for cattle and
cultivation, whilst the remainder of the
district, where the sheep are now located
(with a few trifling exceptions), is proving
a healthy country, and the sheep are work-
ing remarkably well, many individuals
having had a large increase.

The wild dogs have done great damage,
having on some stations destroyed nearly
the whole of the increase, but this is only
a temporary evil, as I am happy to observe
that after the occupation of a run for two
or three years they are seldom seen.

The present number of diseased sheep,
you will perceive by my return, is very
small; and should there be no infected
importations during the ensuing year, I am
very sanguine that I shall be enabled to
give a clean certificate for the whole district
in my next report.

I have the honour to be, &c.,

Wm. Pinkerton,
Inspector of Sheep, Southern District.

His Honor the Superintendent.
