1. An electronic tagging apparatus comprising:

  • an electronic transmitter for transmitting an electronic code signal providing an identification code substantially unique to the transmitter;

    and a housing arranged for mounting the transmitter on an object to be tagged and arranged such that the housing encloses the transmitter and protects the transmitter from heat, water, corrosive materials and trauma, the housing comprising;

    a substantially rigid mounting member for attachment to the object;

    a body enclosing the transmitter;

    and means mounting the body on the mounting member;

    the body being formed by molding from an elastomeric material with the transmitter embedded within the material during molding so as to be fully encapsulated by the elastomeric material and so that all outer surfaces of the body are maintained at a spaced position from the transmitter determined by a thickness of the molded elastomeric material therebetween;

    the molded elastomeric material being stiff so that all outer surfaces of the molded body are supported at said spaced position from the transmitter by a stiffness of the elastomeric material.
