asked if any of the heads of Irish cattle suspected of having been affected with foot-and-mouth disease and recently examined by the officials of the Board were found to be affected with actinomycosis?

In July last year the attention of the Board was called by the local authority at Liverpool to the head of a bullock imported from Ireland which was suspected of having been affected with foot-and-mouth disease. The chief veterinary officer of the Board travelled to Liverpool and diagnosed the case as actinomycosis, not foot-and-mouth disease. No more recent case of the kind has occurred.
