Sir: — I beg to submit the following routine report for the month of 

 August, 1920:

A total of 56 head of cattle were tested during the month, of which 

 number 52 were passed and four condemned and branded. All four 

 condemned animals were recent importations from the Coast which 

 w^ere held for retest at the Quarantine Station. Post-mortem examina- 

 tions of three of these animals revealed positive lesions of tubercu- 

 losis. 



CONTAGIOUS ABORTION. 



In the control of this disease 104 head of cattle w^ere vaccinated with 

 contagious abortion vaccine. These cattle were located in two widely- 

 separated dairies. 



Good results are apparently following the use of this vaccine, espe- 

 cially when used in herds wdiere breeding records are kept. However, 

 further time must elapse before we can report definitely on the value of 

 this vaccine as a preventative. 



IMPORTATTON OF LIVE STOCK. 



Forty-four vessels w^ere boarded for' inspection during the month, of 

 which number ten were found to carry live stock destined for this Ter- 

 ritory. 



The following classes of live stock were imported during the month: 

 Horses, 3; mules, 104; cattle, 58; goats, 66; dogs, 8; poultry, 128 

 crates. 



Respectfully submitted,
