has been continued during- the month. On April 7 a horse suf- 
fering from acute glanders was located in an isolated stable in 
Moiliili and was brought to the Animal Quarantine Station by 
Mr. Venhuizen. The animal was destroyed the following day 
•and a post mortem examination verified the diagnosis. The 
.stable in which the affected animal had been kept was, with the 
owner’s consent, burned down. 
Dr. Fitzgerald on Maui, reports an outbreak of glanders at 
Lahaina. One animal was destroyed and a number of others 
were inspected and tested, and the usual precautions taken to 
prevent the spread of the disease. 
CEREBRO SPINAL MENINGITIS. 
On April 28 a wireless message was received from the Deputy 
Territorial \feterinarian of Kauai, reading as follows: “Come 
Lihue tonight steamer Hall. Strange outbreak. Urgent. 
(Signed) A. R. Glaisyer.” At is was found impossible to respond 
to this call and as there was every reason to believe that no new 
disease could have made its appearance on Kauai, the following 
reply was sent: “Impossible come today. Take usual precau- 
tions prevent spread. Mail full particulars. May come Tues- 
day. (Signed) Norgaard.” The outbreak referred to proves 
to be cerebro spinal meningitis among the mules of the Lihue 
Plantation Company. Three animals died within two days, but 
further spread of the disease was prevented by proper treatment 
and by the disinfection of the infected quarters. 
Dr. Elliot of Hilo also reports an outbreak of the same dis- 
ease among the plantation animals in Kau. 
Correspondence pertaining to these two outbreaks is attached 
herewith.
