3. The provisions for notice of intention to dip remain unaltered. (Art. 4.) 



4. On and after 15th July all sheep entering or exposed for sale in a market, &c, 

 are required to have been ! previously dipped [Art. 14 (1)]. A provision has been made 

 [Art. 14 (2)] to facilitate the collection of the declarations accompanying sheep, and 

 the issue of declarations in the Form G to the buyers or. owners of the sheep, which 

 will enable them to take these sheep without difficulty to a subsequent market or 

 sale. The plan has been tried and found useful in Scotland. In some cases it will 

 probably be found desirable for the Local Authority to appoint persons specially for 

 this purpose. 



5. Movement into the area during the prescribed dipping period is governed by 

 Arts. 15-20 : — 



(a.) Dipped sheep may be moved into the area under Art. 16 if they have been 

 dipped in the presence of an Inspector within 28 days of the movement, and since the 

 dipping have been kept isolated from undipped sheep and not exposed in market, 

 fairground, or saleyard. The sheep must be accompanied by a declaration made in 

 the Form H, a copy of which must be sent to the Inspector of the Local Authority of 

 the district from which the sheep are to be moved before the movement takes place, 

 and be by him transmitted to the Local Authority of the district into which the sheep 

 are to be moved. [Art. 16 (2)]. 



{b.) Undipped sheep may be moved into the area under Art. 17 by licence, a copy 

 of which is to be sent to the receiving Local Authority. Sheep so moved must be 

 kept separate from dipped sheep on arrival, and are subject to detention on the place 

 named in the licence till they have been dipped. This provision does not authorise 

 movement to a market, fairground, or saleyard. 



(c. ) Sheep for immediate slaughter may be moved without previous dipping into 

 the area under Art. 1 18 if marked with a red cross and taken direct to a slaughterhouse,, 

 where they must be detained till slaughtered. 



6. Special provisions for lambs for immediate slaughter are contained in Art. 19 

 (1) (2) ; and for markets for store lambs which have not been dipped, in 

 Art. 19 (3)- * 



7. Sheep for exhibition may be admitted from outside the area on licences granted 

 by the Local Authority under Art. 20. 



8. Regulations made by Local Authorities in the exercise of their powers under 

 Art. 9 of the Sheep Scab Order of 1905 are suspended during the Dipping, 

 Period.
