QUAEANTINE STATION. 

 The following animals entered the quarantine station: 



Cows Bulls Calves Horses Mules Hogs Dogs 



39 1 15 17 67 285 6 



In order to save for the milk-consuming public the milk from cows 

 temporarily quarantined, to comply with the requirements of the milk 

 ordinance of the City and County of Honolulu, and in order to obviate 

 a considerable unnecessary loss to the owners of' such quarantined cat- 

 tle, a milking shed with concrete floor was installed in an unused portion 

 of the station. No government expense was entailed in the construction 

 of this shed. 



BOVINE HEMOREHAGIC SEPTICEMIA ON HAWAII. 



The situation on the Kaalualu Ranch has materially improved since last 

 month. The writer personally superintended the vaccination of large 

 number of the ranch cattle from February 27 to March S. During that 

 period no losses occurred in the entire district. Since my return the 

 manager of the ranch has reported the loss of from 15 to 20 head of 

 cattle practically all being cattle recently vaccinated. These cattle 

 were undoubtedly in the early stage of the disease at the time of vac- 

 cination and consequently the protection afforded w^as not sufficient. 



Since my return, 10,500 doses of vaccine were sent up. As instruc- 

 tions were issued to use double the dose this amount was sufficient to 

 ^ aecinate 5,250 head of cattle. 



The last report on the subject from Doctor Elliot would seem to 

 indicate that the outbreak is under complete control. However, scatter- 

 ing losses may still be reported. As stated before, I do not consider 

 there is any possibility of the spread of the infection to other districts. 



Respectfully submitted,
