It is a valuable work containing notes of the sheep industry and is profusely illustrated.

A wild ohild has been found in New South Wales. Mr Luke flyland* of ProS« pectj was riding through the bush when h« Was followed by a wild-looking child, who screamed at him like a wild cat, and literally flew after him faster than his horse could travel. . In answer to his enquiries she only stared and screamed, but she refused to leave him, and when he arrived home he secured her, and brought her in to the Parramatta lookup. She is apparently about eight years of age, and dressed in a pink dress and straw hat, without shoes and stockings. She has an emaciated and hunted appearance, and kept up a continual scream, " Let me out," while in the lockup. No amount of persuasion can induce her to take any food. The police have been unable to find out anything about her, and she has evidently been running wild in the bush for some time.
