inspectors in charge of the ports of Seattle, Washington, and 
Portland, Oregon, respectively, 'with the request that all 
horse stock intended for shipment into this Territory be pro- 
vided with ear-tags when the last temperature of the test is 
taken. This will greatly facilitate the identification of the 
tested animals, both when they are presented for shipment 
from the mainland ports and after their arrival here. 
Importation of Live Stock. 
The following live stock has arrived in the Territory since 
the last report : 
September 16 — S. S. Sierra, 1 horse 
4 monkeys 
2 dogs 
September 19 — Bark Andrew' Welch, 2 dogs 
September 28 — S. S. Lurline, 3 horses (1 stallion) 
20 Merino sheep 
13 Hereford bulls 
2 Berkshire pigs 
1 dog 
12 crates poultry 
The 20 Merino sheep were beautiful animals and were im- 
ported by Mr. Robert Hind of the Puuwaawaa Ranch on Ha- 
waii. The Hereford bulls, which were also high-class animals, 
were consigned to the Puakea Ranch on Hawaii (8 head) 
and the Cornwell Ranch on Maui (5 head). 
In this connection it may be well to state the capacity of 
the new quarantine station on the Beach Road will be tested 
during the next week or two, as two large shipments of horse 
stock are expected to arrive from San Francisco. Mr. Charles 
Beilina of the Club Stables expects 75 to 80 head of horses, 
while the same number of mares and two jacks will arrive 
on the next Hilonian for the Lanai Ranch. It is believed 
that this number of animals can be accommodated unless 
other shipments should arrive in the meantime, in which case 
it may becom^e necessary to utilize the hog cholera division 
for some of the horse stock. 
Very respectfully. 
V. A. Norgaard, 
Territorial Veterinarian.
