Whilst in the neighborhood of Killarney I had occasion to admire some 

 very fine types of Kerry dairy cattle. I am persuaded that we have here 

 a breed that might with advantage be used more extensively in Australia, 

 at all events in those portions of it blessed with a fair rainfall. 



I wish here to place on record my great indebtedness to the Agent-General 

 and his office. To Mr. Whiting in particular I am under a personal debt 

 of gratitude. There appeared to be nothing that he was not prepared to do 

 for a stranger.

FRANCE. 



I was in France from September 6th to October 14th, visiting successively 

 as centres Paris, Avignon, Marseilles, Montpellier, Cette, Carcassonne, 

 Bordeaux, and Bayonne. Whilst these various towns were my head- 

 quarters, I availed myself of the opportunity to make excursions in their 

 immediate neighborhoods. I should have liked to have been in a position 

 to visit other centres, but, unfortunately, neither the time nor the means at 

 my disposal permitted of this.
