of a million. It is a highly industrialised region, and one of the chief homes of textile manufactures. And now we find that in 1903 the number of horses passed for human food by the inspectors of the public slaughter-houses fell from 708 to 628. On comparing these numbers with those of the population, the amount of horse-flesh consumed even in 1902 will be found to be exceedingly small-one-fourth or less of that in Munich-viz., one horse for 1,068 of the population; and this had sunk in 1903 to one for 1,227.1 1 Jahresbericht der Handelskammer Plauen auf das Jahr 1903 (Plauen, 1904), pp. 91-93. The statistics for Berlin are not easy to interpret; first, because of the doubt whether the figures for the earlier years include all the horses slaughtered for food in the city (cf. Rothe, Fleischergewerbe, pp. 74-77); and secondly, because of the doubt as to the area served by the present Berlin slaughter-house (cf. Pollard, A Study in Municipal Government, p. 62). Assuming that the figures (given in Statistisches Jahrbuch der Stadt Berlin, 1903, p. 282) indicate the consumption of Greater Berlin (whose population for 1880, 1885, 1890, 1895 is given in Voigt, Grundrente, p. 157, and for 1900-1902 in the Jahrbuch, p. 18), it would seem that on the whole the tendency between 1880 and 1895 was to a decrease in the quantity consumed. The years of greatest consumption were the years of highest prices of "Schweinefleisch" (to be found in Rothe, p. 94), and not necessarily years of general trade depression. The amount undoubtedly increased considerably in 1901-2; and in the latter year it was as much as one horse for every 198 of the population of Greater Berlin, if we suppose that none of the meat slaughtered in Berlin was carried outside. But it had fallen again in 1903 to about one for 215. Bavaria, 65, 76, 116. Beck, Dr. Hermann, 88. Beef, 24, 125, 156 n. Berlin, 31, 35, 36, 137 seq., 161 n. Bernstein, Mr. Edouard, 114, 140.
