thing of the past, the last death from this disease occurring 
in the early part of 1919. Glanders has been eradicated from 
the Territory with the exception of the Kohala District, Island 
of Hawaii, where recently a number of cases have occurred. 
A concerted effort is now l)eing made to clean up this las', 
stronghold of glanders in this Territory. A few outbreaks of 
equine influenza have occurred in several plantation stables, 
but the losses have been nominal. Botulism or forage poison- 
ing has been reported in several sections, but has assumed 
slight importance. The control of hemorrhagic septicemia 
of horses, cattle and swine, especially in the two latter classes 
of livestock, has constituted a large proportion of the work 
of this division during the year. This disease has occurred 
with alarming frequency on a number of the ranches and has 
occasioned considerable loss. Vaccination offers the only 
practical means of control and where properly carried out 
affords the greatest protection. The peculiar characteristics 
of this disease, its ability to spring up at any time, in any lo- 
cality, without apparent reason or connecting link between 
the outbreaks, renders methods of control difficult and eradi- 
cation almost an impossibility. Of considerable interest and 
importance in the work of the division, has been the produc- 
tion of a new vaccme tc> be used in the control of coniayious 
epithelioma or sore-head of poultry. This disease, if taken 
in time, responds readily to vaccination. Results so far with 
the use of the new vaccine have been, with the exception of 
two instances, highly satisfactory. Contagious epithelioma 
is the bane of the poultry industry here and the importance 
of a potent vaccine for this disease can hardly be over-esti- 
mated.
