any one time, on the-condition that such quantity is properly 
fumigated with carbon bisulphide before shipment, and that it will 
be fumigated or disinfected, or both, at the discretion of the 
Superintendent of Agriculture, or his Assistant, on its arrival in 
this Colony. | 
Cotton seed, from which oil is to be extracted, shall not be 
imported or brought into this Colony, except under the following 
conditions : 
Such seed shall be fumigated either at the Government fumiga- 
torium or in a building licensed for that purpose by the Governor- 
in-Executive Committee. Such seed shall be conveyed by the 
importer, immediately after it has been landed, to the Government 
fumigatorium or to the licensed building, under the supervision of 
an officer of the Local Department of Agriculture, who shall be 
immediately notified thereof by the Comptroller of Customs, and
