A mortality of a million has up to now been a fairly general estimate, but he considers that the actual figures will run out at considerably more than that. His estimate, by the way, is by no means a. haphazard one, but is tho result of calculation on .ascertained le mes, t 0 finds that on the front hills ». loss of onethird is about Lie average. As iv-ends the. hack country, the must sir- arc only just commencing, hut there is m-erv rervmn to believe that half the sheep have been lost.
