From the above tabulated Hst it will be seen that during the 

 past month 1590 head of dairy cattle have been tested with the 

 result that 1568 were passed and tagged, and 22 head condemned 

 and branded, giving a percentage of disease of 1.3%. Of the 

 animals condemned on the Railroad ranch, one was an imported 

 shorthorn bull which had been kept at Bellina's dairy for three 

 w'ceks or a month and without doubt picked up the infection there ; 

 three were heifers born and raised on the place and inN^vhich the 

 disease was in its earliest stages, and five were cows all of which 

 had been in Bellina's dairy at some time or other and had carried 

 the infection from there to Honouliuli. 



POST-MORTEM EXAMINATIONS. 



Opportunity was given to make several post-mortem examina- 

 tions on cattle which had recently been condemned, the results of 

 which were as follows : 



No. 1. Jersey heifer, 3 years old, in prime condition, dressing 

 about 300 lbs. The reaction at the point of injection was the 

 smallest which has been observed under the new method, but was 

 unmistakable in character. Lesions : Right retro-pharyngeal 

 lymph gland enlarged to four times its normal size and rather 

 flabby. On section the surface showed the effects of a productive 

 inflammation, there being a great increase in the interstitial con- 

 nective tissue, which was gradually drawing the parenchymatous 

 tissue into lobules. There were, however, no macroscopic tuber- 

 culous lesions. The left lung showed numerous tuberculous nod- 

 ules the size of a dime in both its cervical and diaphragmatic lobes. 

 There was a large abscess in the liver. 



No. 2. Grade Durham heifer ; 2y2 years old and in prime con- 

 dition, dressing 347 lbs. Reaction of good size and well defined. 

 Lesions : A very careful post-mortem examination revealed one 

 of the mesenteric glands affected. The gland was enlarged to 

 three times its natural size and filled with a gritty mass of tuber- 

 culous material ; the only lesion of macroscopic size in the body ; 

 still the reaction was large, showing the hypersensitive condition 

 of the tissues.
