3 steers — a total of 22> head. All of these animals excepting two 

 made rapid and complete recovery. The two which died received 

 100 cc. Cutter serum, one receiving an additional 76 cc. Mulford 

 serum. 



Of the above horses 13 head were injected at Niumalu. Dur- 

 ing the past month two old horses died in this district, but these 

 deaths cannot be attributed to anthrax. The situation there is 

 clearing up rapidly, and if nothing further develops, the quaran- 

 tine can be removed completely by the middle of August. 



In view of the fact that no deaths from anthrax had ever 

 occurred in that district known as Hanalei flats and included 

 within the quarantined area, it was advised that the quarantine 

 lines be withdrawn from Waiole bridge to Hanalei bridge, thus 

 releasing that district and making it possible for the rice planters 

 and vegetable growers to dispose of their produce. This action 

 being approved by the Board of Agriculture and Forestry, the new 

 lines were established on July 22>. This reduced the quarantined 

 area considerably and lessened the monthly pay roll by the sal- 

 aries of four guards. 



Anthrax on Oahu. 



On the first of the month one heifer calf died at the Farm 

 dairy, microscopical examination proving it a case of anthrax. 

 It was therefore decided to revaccinate the entire herd, including 

 all other animals on the place, and so, on July 3, Dr. Norgaard, 

 assisted by Dr. C. Golding, who had arrived to take charge of the 

 anthrax situation on Kauai, vaccinated with anti-anthrax serum 

 the following animals : Cows, 85 ; bulls, 2 ; heifers, 5 ; calves, 

 15; horses, 12. Total, 129 head. 



It having been previously decided to move the Farm animals 

 to some other location, it now remained but to find a place which 

 would be suitable. After spending considerable time in looking 

 over different localities, none of w^hich came up to the desired 

 specifications, permission was finally obtained from the Bishop 

 Estate to build a quarantine station on their land, which had 

 been recently filled in. The land in question is located on the 

 makai side of the Ala Moana road and adjoining the U. S. rifle 

 range. A spot was finally selected, 1100 feet from the road and 

 next to the seawall, and on this were erected corrals and buildings 

 in every w^ay suitable, and to this place the Farm animals were 

 removed in drays, after being thoroughly washed off with reliable 

 disinfectant. Since removal no more cases of anthrax have oc- 

 curred.
