Ying & Co., they being dealers in cord wood and I found that the 
head man there obtained the horse from a Jap who lives in Pa- 
lama and he did not wish to give up the horse until the owner 
was present. 
I had to send a man to find the Jap and ascertained that he was 
at Waipahu. I told the man in charge to keep the horse there 
until 9 o'clock the next day and not to use it, all of which he 
promised. 
The next morning I got there at -8 130 and found the horse gone 
and that Mr. Pottie had been called in consultation. I waited 
no longer, but took the fellow along with me and found the horse 
in a pasture and took him to the quarantine station. 
On Saturday, October 17th, when returning from Kalihi I 
passed a dray standing opposite a blacksmith's shop, the single 
animal hitched to it having a profuse nasal discharge. I stopped 
and examined the animal and found it to be suffering from gland- 
ers. I crossed into the shop and found the other animal in the 
same condition. 
I had the driver hitch up at once and go to his stable which he 
said contained three other animals. Upon arrival there I found 
only one, the others being at work. I examined this animal and 
found no suspicious symptoms and told him to have the others 
there when I came Monday morning. 
While there I went over to % a Japanese hack stable next door and 
found a well developed case of glanders. While I was talking 
with some of the men there to get the name of the owner I ob- 
served a Japanese woman go up to this horse and wipe out its 
nostrils and throw the rag over her shoulder. She also carried a 
child on her back. I had her burn this rag at once. They dis- 
played absolute ignorance of the character and dangerousness of 
the disease. I removed all three animals to the quarantine station. 
On Monday, October iQth, I killed and tested the animal found 
on Beretania Avenue. I have a very good specimen showing 
several ulcers about the size of a quarter on the nasal septum 
which had eaten almost through. The lungs were filled with 
small nodules. The remaining horses are still at the quarantine 
station, the owners having put the matter in the hands of Attorney 
Magoon. The animals are now being tested by Dr. Rowat ac- 
cording to their request, the test being under my supervision and 
the report being given to me for my approval. 
The stables where the animals were I am having disinfected 
by Mr. Lawrence of the Board of Health, and I am watching the 
remaining animals. 
I. have received some of the supplies which I ordered from the 
laboratory, but they are not complete. It will probably be another 
month yet before I am able to do much in bacteriology. I have 
now started the work in pathology. The equipment, while not 
being complete, is sufficient for me to commence the work. 
As regards the quarantine station at Hilo things are still in an
