A general inspection was made January 6 and 7 of Aiea, Pearl 
City, Waipahu and Ewa districts, including all plantation camps 
and adjacent rice fields, etc. 
There are now five suspect animals being watched for further 
development of symptoms. 
On January 21st (S. S. Alameda, Jan. 7) a sorrel horse owned 
by Jerry Broderick and winch was brought from the coast with- 
out papers, was subjected to the Mallein test at the Quarantine 
Station. It gave a negative reaction and was turned over to 
the owner. 
On January 26th we received at the laboratory from Mr. Me 
\’eigh a portion of a gland which he had taken from the head of 
a steer. From his description of the location it was evidently a 
portion of the sub-maxillary gland. I\Ir. McATigh sent the 
gland to the laboratory from the Molokai Leper Settlement and 
wished the examination made as he feared the animal might be 
suffering from lumpy jaw. The examination of a number of 
scrapings made from different parts of the gland failed to dis- 
close any signs of Actinom}^cosis. 
On January 27th a sorrel horse owned by i\lr. Blackman and 
which was formerly owned by one John Pottie, was taken to the 
Quarantine Station for testing as requested by Mr. Blackman. 
When the horse was first brought to us for examination there 
was a profuse discharge from both nostrils, heavily swollen 
glands, one of which was discharging slightly. The character 
of the glandular swelling and the appearance and nature of the 
nasal discharge strongly indicated Strangles, which was the 
diagnosis turned in to the owner. 
About four or five days after i\Ir. Blackman called me to see 
the horse which I found very much improved and which I 
thought ought to be cured inside of two weeks. A week after, 
as Air. Blackman wished the horse tested it was taken to the 
Quarantine Station and the test applied. The glands were still 
somewhat swollen, but the nasal discharge had entirely disap- 
peared. 
The results of the test are rather uncertain for although the 
temperature reached as high as 105.1 the reaction was not 
typical either as regards temperature or local reaction. The 
horse will be kept for further study. 
Milk Ordinance. 
The Board of Supervisors, represented by Air. Logan, has 
conferred with the Division of Animal Industry, represented by 
Air. Isenberg and Air. von Holt, in regard to the adoption of 
the ordinance, for the purpose of controlling the sale and dis- 
tribution of milk in the City and Countv of Honolulu. This 
ordinance, which it is believed will be satisfactory to everybody 
concerned, has been submitted to the Board of Supervisors, and
