at  least  two  of  which  are  not  well  known  to  us. 
MISCELLANEOUS  WORK. 
Two  lots  of  useful  insects,  doubtless  horn  fly  parasites,  were 
received  from  Mr.  Koebele  during  the  month  and  turned  over  to 
Dr.  Perkins  of  the  H.  S.  P.  A.  for  attention 
Three  evening  lectures  profusely  illustrated  with  lantern  slides 
were  delivered  at  the  College  of  Hawaii  on  the  following  topics : 
“Inspection,  object,  method,  results”;  “Our  Insect  Pests”;  “Our 
Insect  Friends.”  One  morning  talk  on  “Insects,  How  to  Collect 
and  Preserve  Them,”  was  given  at  the  McKinley  High  School  at 
the  request  of  Mr.  Babbitt  and,  judging  from  later  comment,  was 
well  received. 
The  Inspector’s  assistant,  Mr.  Kuhns,  was  sick  in  bed  during 
the  first  half  of  the  month.  With  occasional  assistance  from 
extra  help  we  managed  to  get  along.  But  such  incidents  point 
to  the  immediate  necessity  of  an  assistant  in  the  Division. 
To  Midway  we  sent  a colony  of  Vedalia  by  the  “Flaurence 
Ward”  to  help  the  cable  people  there  fight  the  cottony  cushion 
scale  which  is  checking  the  growth  of  the  ironwood  trees  planted 
there  some  time  ago. 
Respectfully  yours, 
JACOB  KOTINSKY, 
Superintendent  of  Entomology.

REPORT  OF  THE  TERRITORIAL  VETERINARIAN. 
March  3,  1909. 
Mr.  President  and  Members  of  the  Board : 
I beg  to  report  on  the  work  of  the  Division  of  Animal  Indus- 
try since  the  meeting  on  February  3d,  as  follows: 
GLANDERS. 
In  the  beginning  of  February  a suspicious  case  was  reported 
from  a local  dairy.  The  animal  was  isolated  and  submitted  to  the 
mallein  test.  The  case  proved  not  to  be  glanders,  but  to  be 
chronic  nasal  catarrh.
