76 QUEENSLAND AGRICULTURAL JOURNAL. [1 Jury, 1899. 
Herd VII., Warrnambool, Western District—This herd consisted of 39 
cows of mixed breeds, with strains of Shorthorn, Ayrshire, and Alderney. They 
were all young animals (between 3 and 7 years), in splendid milking condition, 
apparently sound, and had been selected during the previous 12 months and 
practically without limit as to price on account of their milking qualities.* 
Test applied, 25th and 26th February, 1898—Koch’s tuberculin; dose, 
0°3 ¢.c. to 0°5 ec. 
Nine of the 39 cows gave a definite re-action, the mean rise in temperature 
varying from 44 degrees F. to 1‘8 degrees F. They were all slaughtered and 
examined. Particulars regarding each of them are given in Table F.
