REPORT OF ASSISTANT TERRITORIAL VETERINARIAN. 



Honolulu, Hawaii, February 3, 1916. 



Dr. Victor A. Norgaard, Chief of Division of Animal Industry, 



Board of Agriculture and Forestry, Honolulu, Hawaii. 

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

 January, 1916: 



Tuberculosis Control. 



The seventh annual test of the dairy and ranch herds in the 

 City and County of Honolulu commenced with the testing of the 

 Swanzy Ranch at Kualoa. A total of 469 head were injected 

 intradermally, out of which number 461 were passed as free from 

 disease and 8 condemned and branded. This is a far better 

 showing than w^as expected, considering the large number of 

 reactors on the previous test and that the two tests were a full 

 year apart. If the above results can be taken as any criterion, the 

 present year will see a remarkable decrease in the percentage of 

 tuberculous animals among the dairy and ranch herds on this 

 island.
