the use of the remedies suggested. Besides this, the main point of the 
observations of the past year has been the proof from examination of 
the carcases of warbled beasts after removal of the infested hide, that 
Warble-attack, when severe to an extent often found to be the case, 
causes inflammation, and consequently very evident alteration in the 
state of the tissues immediately beneath the warbled part of the hide.

This condition, known as “ licked beef” or “jelly,” was only too 
well known to all connected with dressing cattle after slaughter, but 
the nature and precise cause of the condition was not known. Now, 
however, that it is ascertained to be inflammatory product caused by 
irritation of Warble-presence, this matter is one that farmers should 
know about fully, as it lessens the returns to them (as shown at p. Ill 
in the report from Mr. Sparkes, of Wearliead, Darlington), from the 
beast not answering in condition to the amount of good food given. 
Also, where butchers know what the presence of bad Warble-attack 
showing outside means as to the state of the carcase beneath , there will 
be a further loss to the seller at so much per stone to counterbalance 
the butcher’s loss in having to scrape the meat.
