scheduled countries, because the latter are slaughtered within the 
defined part of the port at which they are landed. 
As the statistics for the year 1872 are not yet available, it is 
necessary to illustrate this paper with those for 1871, being the 
last complete year previous to the investigation made during last 
autumn. The figures are as follows : —
