INCIDENCE OF ANTHRAX IN STOCK IN AUSTRALIA. 61 
Viewing the question as a whole, it would appear that 
the future may be looked forward to with confidence. The 
further subdivision of large estates in the Anthrax belt 
should lead to a corresponding reduction in mortality, 
because owing to the restrictions on the movement of 
stock, smaller areas will be recontaminated at each out- 
break, and gradually it may be anticipated that the disease 
will die out. With more efficient metbods of control and 
the more accurate means of diagnosis available, it is to be 
expected that outbreaks will be dealt with more promptly, 
and the number of cases reduced. On the part of the 
farmer and stockowner, action is only required on two 
matters to bring about the desired result, prompt notifica- 
tion of mortality which might be due to Anthrax, and 
destruction by fire of all carcases of animals dead of 
Anthrax.
