A VERY RARE, EARLY SYDNEY IMPRINT. Ferguson records only a single copy in Sydney University Library. A detailed report, principally by the naturalist and surgeon George Bennett, into a hitherto unknown and potentially fatal disease of sheep. No firm conclusions about the disease or how to stop it were drawn: in-breeding, poor weather and lack of salt were all suggested as possible conditions which allowed the disease to spread. Ferguson Addenda 1890a.
