be accredited to this specific branch of work is rather difficult, 

 but it is safe to say that, while the first test ( 1910), during which 

 the old subcutaneous method was employed, the territorial veteri- 

 narian gave much of his time to the work while it lasted (3 

 months), the subsequent tests have been performed by the assist- 

 ant territorial veterinarian with a livestock inspector, or, later on, 

 with the municipal milk inspector assisting him, at the outermost 

 one-quarter of the time of the territorial veterinarian and one- 

 third of the time of the assistant territorial veterinarian can pos- 

 sibly be charged against this work. To this should be added the 

 entire time of the livestock inspector while the testing was in 

 progress (Mr. A'anhuisen during the 1910 test, his time being 

 otherwise given to the control and eradication of glanders, and 

 later on Mr. Richards, who, as municipal milk inspector, was as- 

 signed to assist in the testing, his salary being paid by the Board 

 of Supervisors up to February 1, 1913), from which we reach 

 the following figures, for the past four years :

With the expenditure of this sum more than 17,000 tuberculin 

 tests have been applied, making the average cost a little less than 

 37 cents per test, while at the same time nearly 1100 head of 

 tuberculous animals have been eliminated from the dairv herds 

 of Honolulu, all of which, with the exception of a small number 

 now awaiting slaughter, have been killetl. 



This means that to our knowledge there are today no untested 

 nor any reacting animals producing milk for human consimiption 

 in the City and County of Honolulu. The few, less than thirtv 

 head, of reactors still alive are effectively segregated and all 

 branded, the latter preventing the sale or other disposition for 

 any purpose except immediate slaughter. What is left to be de-
