The vaccination with hemorrliagic septicemia bjactorins was {I'ecom- 

 mended and, up to the present writing-, no further cases have occurred. 



On January 22, Dr. Case reported that while testing a large dairy 

 herd of cattle at Wahiawa, he fbund three reactors, all being cows 

 which had been purchased in South Kona about six weeks previous. 

 One of these animals when butchered was found so badly affected with 

 tuberculosis that the entire carcass had to be condemned. As the herd 

 in question has been free of tuberculosis for a number of years, it is, of 

 course, unfortunate that the disease should have been introduced again 

 with these Kona cows; and it is recommended that a regulation be pro- 

 mulgated prohibiting the shipment of dairy cattle from one island to 

 another unless they come from clean herds or else have been tuberculin 

 tested previous to shipment. 



A considerable number of cows come to Honolulu from South Kona, 

 but, up to this time, very few reactors, in fact not more than half a 

 dozen, have been found among them. The present case, however, of 

 three cows all being badly affected, would seem to indicate that the 

 ranch from which they came must be very badly infected, and steps 

 were taken w^ithout delay to have the Deputy Territorial Veterinarian 

 for that district begin testing the said herd and, in fact, to give as 

 much of his time as possible to the testing of all dairy herds in that 

 district. 



A copy of the proposed regulation is herewith submitted for the 

 approval of the Board. 



Very respectfully, 



V. A. NORGAAKD, 

 Territorial Veterinarian.
