Note. — September 8th. 

 During the discussion that followed the reading of tbs 

 above, several facts previously unknown to me were elicited. 



I remarked that if my idea of this disease being of a 

 climatic and coiistitutional nature were correct, removal to a 

 more favourable locality might affect a cure, and it was pointed 

 out by Mr. Gordon thas such was really so, for he knew 

 of several affected horses that were sent from here to Melbourne 

 some years ago, which shortly after their arrival recovered com- 

 pletely, and the disease has never since shown in them. 



Mr. Murphy, M.L.A., pointed out that horses of the colours 

 known to stock-owners as " soft colours " were particularly 

 susceptible to mange.
