Mention has been made of the first outbreak of tuber- 

 culosis on the island. In one of Mr. Price's later importa- 

 tions two cows had reacted, both coming from the infected 

 herd on the island. Without doubt, the disease was also im- 

 ported in the Housman importation, as many of them reacted 

 ahnost as soon as they reached this country, and a large part 

 of the importation was lost to the breed. Included in this 



importation was the bull St. Amant 11600, A. R.
