 it is hoped that this project will be consummated before further 

 inroads are made by cattle on the remaining forest in that region. 



Mr. D. T. Fullaway, Entomologist of the Board, left Honolulu 

 on Thursday, December 9, 1920, for Hong Kong and Calcutta 

 where, for the purpose of introduction into the Territory, he will 

 make a search for further parasites on the melon fly and for wasps 

 which are responsible for the production of fertile seed on the 

 trees belonging to the genus Ficus. 



It is with great regret that announcement is made of the death 

 on November 15, 1920, of Dr. Victor A. Norgaard, Territorial 

 Veterinarian, for the Board for a period of 15 years. At the 

 Board, meeting held on November 30, the following resolutions in 

 appreciation of his services were adopted : 



''Resolved, That in the death of V^ictor A. Norgaard, 

 Territorial Veterinarian of the Board of Agriculture 

 and Forestry, this Board and the Territory have lost 

 a most capable and efficient officer who for a period 

 of fifteen years by his a-ble direction has not only 

 greatly suppressed animal diseases found here and 

 prevented new diseases from coming in, but also has 

 caused great advancement in the principles of live 

 stock breeding in this Territory. 

 ''Resolved, further, that this Board in token of its 

 appreciation of his valuable services cause this 

 record to be made." 

 A biographical sketch of Dr. Norgaard appears in this issue. 



BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF DR. V. A. NORGAARD. 



By Dr. L. N. Case, Territorial Veterinarian. 



It is with deep regret that announcement is made of the death 

 on November 15, 1920, of Dr. Victor A. Norgaard, Territorial 

 Veterinarian in charge of the Division of Animal Industry of the 

 Board of Agriculture and Forestry of the Territory of Hawaii. 



Dr. Norgaard was born in Copenhagen, Denmark, on Novem- 

 ber 14, 1868. He was the son of Peter and Julie Norgaard and 

 received his early education in the common schools of that country. 

 At the early age of 18, he graduated with honors from the Vet- 

 erinary High School of the University of Copenhagen, receiving 

 the degree of V. S. 



Realizing that the opportunities for advancement in the veteri- 

 nary profession were greater in America than in his native land, 

 he came to this country shortly after graduation and established 

 himself in New York City, going from there to Lennox, Massa- 

 chusetts, and finally to Madison, Wisconsin.
