 vious ten years ; and (2) that contagious pleuro-pneumonia and 

 foot-and-mouth disease neither exist nor have existed during

In the case of sheep the certificate, in addition to the above 

 statements as to cattle plague and foot-and-mouth disease, 

 must certify that sheep-pox does not exist in the country in an 

 epizootic form, and that no case has occurred in the district 

 from which the live stock proceed during the preceding six
