On Kauai only two eases occurred during 1918 and one case this spring, 

 which is a remarkably low record considering the very heavy infection 

 and great mortality which characterized the outbreak. 



DOG INSPECTION AND QUARANTINE. 



Not less than 18 dogs arrived during the past month. Of these 15 

 were soldiers' mascots, belonging to the Seventeenth Cavalry. Two were 

 ships' dogs which were allowed to remain on board. The last dog was 

 being carried ashore from the U. S. transport Sherman when discovered 

 by Mr. Langford of the entomological force, who, examining the basket 

 for finiit, found the fruit and the dog. The quartermaster disclaimed 

 any knowledge of the dog being on board though admitting that it was 

 against orders. The dog was taken to the quarantine station. 



A total of 37 steamers and sailing vessels were visited, and copies 

 of Rule Vni of this Division were in all cashes left with the master or 

 officer in charge. 



From Hawaii, Dr. Elliot reports an outbreak of cerebro spinal menin- 

 gitis in the Hawi Mill stables with several deaths.
