A. Mr. Charles Benfield’s flock is believed to be clean, but sufficient time has not elapsed since the last dipping to admit of an Inspection.

B. Mr. Adam Keir’s flock, which was reported scabby in consequence of a mixture with diseased sheep, has shown no actual scab, but I find it necessary to withhold his Certificate until the flock of Mr. Chas. Benfield has been pronounced clean, as they are in the habit of mixing owing to the insecurity of their dividing fence.

Mr. William Logie’s flock has been three times dipped, and a certificate given for a separate portion. The balance might be clean if mixtures with the flock of Stevens and Fraser could be prevented.
