Sir,—I have the honor to forward you my annual return of sheep for the Wanganui Sheep Inspector’s district for the year ending January, 1873. Although I am again unable to report the eradication of scab in my district this year, as I had hoped to have done, I am pleased to report a much less number than last year. At the present time there are only two small flocks in the Wairoa district affected, both of which will, I hope, receive a certificate at no very long date.

Although scab, I am pleased to say, is nearly stamped out of this portion of the district, I am sorry to have to report the spread of another disease which is the next to scab—“Lice on Sheep.” It is now some three years ago since I first found it here, and I am sorry to report that this last season I have found it spreading very much amongst the flocks, and have come to the conclusion that unless some steps are taken to enforce dipping in any flock in which it is found, the same as with the scab, great loss will come on the owners. I am pleased to be able to say most of those in whose flocks I have found it either have or are about to dip for it.

I have the honor to be,

Sir,

Your most obedient servant,

JOSEPH W. JORDAN,

Inspector.

Henry Bunny, Esq.,

Provincial Secretary, Wellington.
