It was shipped by the " Runic," which arrived in London on the 24th December, the dura- tion of the voyage, temperature, &c., in the case of sample H applying also to sample K. The Australian leg of mutton also weighed abi)ut 9 lb. It bore a tab, indicating that the mutton was of grade (, between 00 and 65 lb.), and in- cluding a certificate similar to that on sample H. The mutton was killed about the middle of October, and was put on lioard steamer on .5th November. It has frequently been alleged in the past that frozen meat is more wasteful than English, that it diminishes in weight more in proportioa during the cooking process, has more refuse parts, whicii cannot bs consumed, and less dripping and gravy. These objections have Ijeen refuted from time to time, and were specially reported on in the " Hospital" in 1896, dealing with New Zealand mutton. Since that date no further tests have been brought to notice. I, therefore, according to youi- instructions, repeated these baking tests with the abDve legs of Australian lamb and mutton, and followed the detailed methods of baking in every particular as in the former trials. My results are as follow :— Weight when delivered Weight when taken from oven Weight of slices suitable for hospital diet Weight of bdue and waste ...
