 all stock are prohibited from entering the colony on account of the tick pest, with 

 the exception of working bullocks, and horses used in the carrying trade, and for 

 station work between the Northern Territory and Western Australia. 



In addition to the declaration of an owner and breeder, stock coming to 

 Western Australia from outside the Australasian colonies and New Zealand must 

 be accompanied by the certificate of a qualified veterinary surgeon, to the effect 

 that when the stock were placed on board the vessel conveying them they were

 of it. They must also perform the following periods of quarantine :

 inspector may direct, and treated as he deems necessary. 



All cattle and sheep intended for immediate slaughter may be landed on the 

 permit of an inspector, and removed to such place as he may direct, and shall not 

 be again removed alive without his written permission. 



No stock can be landed in the colony at any port other than Fremantle, 

 Albany, Champion Bay, Cossack, Eucla, and Esperance, unless first inspected and 

 passed by an inspector of stock at one of these ports.

 provided that notice must be given in writing to the inspector of stock in the 

 district into which they are to be introduced seven days prior to the introduction 

 of the cattle, and a certificate, signed by a qualified Government inspector, must 

 be produced, showing that the cattle were successfully inoculated against pleuro- 

 pneumonia immediately prior to their departure for Western Australia. 



The crossing place for stock in the Kimberley district, via South Australia, is 

 that portion of the Orel station where the Negri crosses the border of the two 

 colonies, and in the Eucla district the crossing is where the present road from 

 South Australia enters this colony, about eight miles north-east from Eucla. 



An inspector can prevent any stock he considers diseased from entering 

 Western Australia, and any person introducing such diseased stock is subject to

 the border from the owner's land in South Australia to his land in Western 

 Australia for a specified period within six calendar months, for the purpose of 

 depasturing. Stock entering the colony by reason of such permission do not 

 become " introduced " stock, and they are not allowed to be on any other land in 

 Western Australia than that mentioned in the permission.

 duced into the colony until the same shall have been examined by an inspector,
