INCIDENCE OF ANTHRAX IN STOCK IN AUSTRALIA, 49 
Vaccination. 
The evidence of the steady decrease of Anthrax of late 
years shown by the official records of outbreaks is further 
borne out by a consideration of the numbers of stock vac- 
cinated. The figures especially in the earlier years are 
probably not complete, but they furnish a reliable com- 
parative guide.
