REPORT OF ASSISTANT TERRITORIAL VETERINARIAN. 



Honolulu, Oct. 1, 1915. 



Dr. V. A. Norgaard, 



Chief, Division of Animal Industry. 



Sir : — I have the honor to submit the following report for 

 September, 1915: 



Tuberculosis Control. 



The following dairy cattle were tested during the past month : 



Name Total Passed Condemned 



Geo. Holt 31 22 9

 A. Pacheco.

 house on or about August 14th, and as no report was made to
