REPORT FOR FEBRUARY. 
Honolulu, Hawaii, March 14, 1910. 
Hon. Marston Campbell, President and Executive Officer, Board 
of Agriculture and Forestry, Honolulu. 
Sir : — I beg to report on the work of this Division since the 
last meeting of the Board on February 9, as follows: 
Inspection Service. 
The Inspectors of this Division have had considerable difficulty 
in enforcing the rules and regulations of the Board pertaining 
to the importation of live stock, and I have therefore piepared a 
letter for your approval and which I would recommend be sent to 
the agents or representatives of the various steamship and sailing 
vessel companies at the principal ports of importation. 
In this connection I would mention as an instance that the 
steamship Tenyo Maru arrived on February 25 and was boarded 
by myself. While I remained on board for nearly an hour and 
made inquiries from the purser, first officer and baggage master, I 
failed to locate any animals on board. The following day at 10 
o’clock I was summoned to the Quarantine Station in order to 
inspect a crate of Japanese game chickens which had arrived on 
the Tenyo Maru the previous day. At 2 o’clock the same after- 
noon I was called on the phone from Quarantine Island saying 
that there was one dog and two crates of chickens to be inspected 
and that a boat would be at the foot of Fort street to carry me 
over. 
The appended correspondence from Dr. Elliot in regard to a 
liorse which arrived on the steamship Enterprise at Hilo without 
having been submitted to the mallein test indicates that in this 
case the steamship company was not to blame as the boat was 
cleared by Dr. Baker. But in order to avoid a repetition of this 
case I have urged in the circular letter submitted for your approval 
that the commanding officers of all vessels carrying live stock to 
this Territory be instructed to refuse to accept the same unless 
accompanied by the requisite certificates of inspection and testing. 
The following live stock has arrived since the last report : 
Feb. 14, S. S. Manchuria — 1 dog. 
Feb. 17, S. S. Mongolia — 1 cat. 
Feb. 18, S. S. Alameda — 1 horse, 2 crates poultry. 
Feb. 25, S. S. Tenyo Maru — 1 crate Japanese games, 1 dog, 2 
crates chickens. 
Feb. 27, S. S. Arizonan — 23 head cattle, 1 jack. 
March 7, S. S. Korea — 1 dog, 20 chickens, 3 pigs, 2 pigeons. 
March 9, S. S. Furline — 29 mules (19 for Kahului). 
March 12, S. S. Alameda — 1 crate chickens.
