Gentlemen : — I respectfully submit my report of the work done 

 by the Division of Plant Inspection for the month of August, 

 1917, as follows : 



During the month there arrived at the port of Honolulu 54 

 vessels, of which 23 carried vegetable matter and one vessel 

 brought moulding sand. Two vessels passed through the Canal 

 Zone in transit to the Orient.

Rice and Bean Shipments. 



During the month 71,926 bags of rice and 6,211 bags of beans 

 arrived from Japan and oriental ports. Of these, one lot of 40 

 bags was found infested with the rice weevil and the larvae of a 

 meal beetle Tenebroides maiiritanica and was fumigated with 

 carbon bisulphide for 48 hours. All the rest was passed as free 

 from pests. I have again given warning to the shippers of rice 

 and to the agents of the steamship company drawing attention to 

 Rule HI, which requires that all rice shall be fumigated at the 

 ports of embarkation in Japan.
