pasture lands became and are thoroughly saturated with the in- 

 fection. 



Considering the character of the disease and the great resist- 

 ing powers of the spore form of the infection to all disinfectants 

 and the experiences gained in similar outbreaks in other coun- 

 tries, these lands must be looked upon as remaining dangerous 

 for a considerable period of time. 



That there have been no certain deaths from anthrax reported 

 from Kauai since August 24 points to a highly successful vaccina- 

 tion rather than to a decrease of the original infection. These 

 lands still are and can be proved dangerous to the unprotected 

 animal. Consequently no repeal of the quarantine restrictions- 

 now in force, and which have proved so^ successful in keeping the 

 disease from spreading from its original focus, can be advised.
