1. 1864. 



3. 200 head, 



4. Canuot say. 



5. Cannot say. 



12. Yes (see No. 10) ; no means Tvere used. 



13. Cannot say ; but tliree-fonrtlis died, either from pleuro, inoculation, or both. 



14. I can only say that my stock in the District (below the mountain), out of 500 



head, of which 200 inoculated, about half died ; while at my station , 



on Monaro, out of 800 head, none being inoculated, the deaths were about 50 head. 



15. No. I am of opinion that inoculation would be injiu'ious after pleuro has ai)peared 

 in the herd. 



96. 



1. June, 1868. 



3. 450. 



4. None. 



12. About 1 per cent, on account of being left too long before cutting the tail or hard 



lumps out. 



13. Cattle improved for the first month, and then fell away in condition, but soon after 

 picked up, and no signs of pleuro followed. 



14. Belief that inoculation prevents contagion, as my cattle were exposed after — as on 



adjoining runs and amongst neighbours' cattle, the flisease was bad, and none of my own 

 suffered. 



15. I am of opinion that owners should be compelled to inoculate if the disease is in their 



herds, and think advisable even in the district. 



97. 



1. 1865. 



3. 1,000. 



4. Not infected. Nearly all the cattle in the district were. 



12. Not amongst my cattle. I have seen cattle very much swollen, and some die. I think 

 it was in consequence of the virus iised being from a beast in the last stage of the 

 disease. 



13. No beast that I inoculated ever showed symptoms of disease. I find that calves from 



inoculated cows will not take the disease. 



14. My cattle were inoculated before the disease appeared amongst them, notwithstanding 



all the herds in the neighbourhood (and some cattle running with mine), were diseased, 

 and dying in large numbers. The inoculated cattle never took it. I have known 

 several herds that were diseased and dying very fast. Inoculating it immediately 

 prevented the sound cattle from infection, and stopped the deaths. My experience 

 tends to show that inoculating cattle already diseased hastens death (caused by 

 swelling). There was a herd infected in this district and were dying in large numbers ; 

 when they were inoculated it killed most of the diseased beasts in three to six days, 

 but there were no new cases. I find the only cattle that will not bear the 

 operation are yoiing calves, of which it kills a large percentage. 



15. Yes ; I tliink it would benefit all stocko^vncrs. 



98. 



1. lOth June, 1868. 



3. 500 head. 



4. 4 per cent, showing symptoms. 



5. About 12 days. 



12. About nine head died from swelling, out of 500 inoculated. 



13. If properly iuociilatcd it is a cure, and also prevents the disease. If the cattle are 



exposed to other cattle diseased, there is not the slightest fear of their taking it. 



14. Any cattle inoculated will not take the disease. I beheve in inoculating the cattle, if 



the disease has appeared in the herd, but not otherwise. 



99. 



1. 1866. 



3. 3,000. 



4. Dying of disease, and quite one-fourth showing symptoms. 



5. One year. 



12. Many died — I should think quite 10 per cent., after inoculation ; but they may have 

 been diseased when done. 



13. The residt was satisfactory ; they ceased to die.
