Woodbank station turned out 12,000 sheep last year, and only 8000 were mustered for shearing. The Clarence Block of St. James' mustered only 2500 out of 8000. Ihe Acheron block of St. Helen's mustered 8000 from 13,000. The settlers at Glynn Hope lost half their flocks. At the Upper Waiau losses reached one-third. , Shearing is not completed, and full returns are therefore not available: but the stations which have shorn in! dicate the magnitude of the losses
