SHEEP STATISTICS.
The sheep statistics printed in last month’s Journal gave the number of sheep in New Zealand in 1915 as 24,824,394, as published last year. This number did not include certain late supplementary returns (8,661), nor the sheep in the Chatham Islands (68,366). Adding these two items, the total for 1915 is 24,901,421. The total for 1916 —viz., 24,788,150 includes the Chatham Islands. Comparing the totals for the two years on this basis, the decrease in 1916 is shown to be 113,271. It may be mentioned that the Chatham Islands flocks have not been included in the annual sheep returns until the present year. They are now embodied in the Canterbury-Kaikoura Sheep District.
