LIVE-STOCK IN NEW ZEALAND.

* Not collected in 1911.

Note. The 1911 figures include boroughs, while those for 1916 do not. The borough returns are now in course of collection. A few country returns are also still to be received, but are not likely to materially affect the totals. It will be observed that the figures are given by land districts, and not provincial districts as heretofore. . . '
