 be under such careful supervision and restrictions as the Veterinary 

 Inspector may, in special cases, direct.

 tion, as they will be deemed, under the law, to have been exposed to 

 infection so as to be dangerous to other animals.

 yards to the ocean steamer at the ports of export will be in charge 

 of the Veterinary Inspector of the port. No ocean steamer will be 

 allowed to receive more cattle or sheep than it can comfortably carry.

that are entitled to clearance papers, and certificates of the inspection 



of said animals will be given to the consignors for transmission with 



the bills of lading.
