A total of 310 cattle were tested, out of which number 288 were passed 

 and 22 condemned and branded. 



This concludes the tuberculin testing for the year, with a total of 

 3711 cattle tested, with a total of 131 condemned, giving a percentage of 

 2.767r. This, while not as low ds was expected, is a decided drop from 

 the previous year. 



HEMOREHAGIC SEPTICEMIA IN SWINE. 



Two outbreaks of this disease occurred during the month — one at the 

 quarantine station in a bunch of imported hogs, and one in a large 

 piggery at Puuloa. The prompt use of hemorrhagic septicemia vaccine 

 checked both outbreaks with a total loss of 10 hogs. 



While hemorrhagic septicemia was the cause of both outbreaks, two 

 distinct types of the disease were represented. Tlie form of the out- 

 break at the quarantine station was purely pneumonic, the post-mortem 

 lesions showing double pneumonia with pleurisy, while the outbreak at 

 Puuloa was the peracute or seticemic type of a very virulent nature. 

 No intestinal complications were observed in either outbreak. 



ANTI-EABIC VACCINATION. 



Three dogs were immunized against rabies and are apparently doing 

 finelv. 



CANINE DISTEMPER. 



This disease, which is more or less prevalent throughout the Terri- 

 tory, has necessitated the vaccination of a large number of dogs at the 

 quarantine station during the month. Some of these arrived showing 

 symptoms of distemper and were treated with curative vaccines, while 

 others were immunized against the disease. These vaccinations had to 

 be made before the rabies treatment could be commenced, thereby in- 

 creasing the length of the quarantine period. 



IMPORTATIONS OF LIVE STOCK. 



Thirty vessels were boarded and inspected, fifteen of which were 

 found to carry live stock for the Territory. 



The following classes of live stock were represented: 



Cattle 23 



Dogs 9 



Poultry 301 crates
