ADDENDUM.

The thing of all others that we find answer to bring conviction is 
jnst to let all concerned see for themselves what is going on. When the 
hide is on the animal the mischief is very much hidden by the hair ; 
but when the hide is displayed after death, then its loathsome con¬ 
dition, with the maggots working in it, shows the state of the case, 
and removes all possibility of it being considered either to be good for 
the animal, or to be caused by “ boils ” ! 
Another point needed is distribution, in short plain form, of 
information as to the nature of the attack, and also as to how easily 
it may be checked. During the last few years many thousands of the 
four-page leaflet, of which a sample is given following this Report, 
have been distributed, and I should be happy to continue to send them 
gratuitously to all interested in prevention of Warble attack, and also 
to endeavour to give all information in my power to those who may 
apply to me on the subject. 
ADDENDUM. 
When this sheet was in type I was favoured by the following 
valuable information from Messrs. Richard Markendale & Co., 
Manchester. I therefore place it separately as an addition to the 
preceding returns of loss on warbled hides, given at pp. 116—124 ; 
but in any case I think it would have been well that it should stand 
alone as an especial example of the serious amount of the loss which 
is now going forward. A return showing over 83,000 hides damaged 
by Warble, and loss thereon of over £16,000 in one year, is a matter 
for serious consideration. 
The return I am favoured with is as follows :— 
“ March 6th, 1889. Further to yours of January 14th, 1889, 
re numbers warbled, and loss of hides passing through this market in 
one year. We now have much pleasure in sending you the 
information. 
“ 1888. Jan to Dec. Number of hides, 250,740 total. 
,, ,, ,, ,, 83,580 warbled. 
“ Loss on same, £16,716 for one year.” 
—Messrs. Richard Markendale & Co., Limited, Hide, Skin and Fat 
Market, Manchester.
