OF THE OX. 191 



" T regret to add that this is not a solitary case of 

 sheep being affected by the cattle plague. I learned that 

 some sheep were supposed to be similarly affected belong- 

 ing to Mr. R. J. H. Harvey, M.P., on his estate at 

 Crown Point, near Norwich. This place I also visited, 

 and found a large flock of upwards of 2000 lambs, 

 among which the malady was prevailing. A large 

 number had been separated from the diseased, and gave 

 no evidence of the malady. Very many, however, had 

 died, and the disease was making rapid progress. I also 

 examined many of the dead, and found the post-mortem 

 appearances to be identical with those seen in the other 

 cases spoken of in this report. 



" In this instance the malady was brought into the 

 estate by the purchase of some cattle, which afterwards 

 died from the disease, and which were unfortunately 

 pastured with the sheep at the time the disease manifested 

 itself. 



" The whole matter is one of the greatest importance, 

 and which I lose no time in submitting to you for the 

 information of the Lords of the Council. 



" I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient 

 servant, 



" JAS. B. SIMONDS."
