for GO days last past, except the so-called splenetic or Texas fever; 
also, by affidavit of the importer, or his agent supervising the ship- 
ment, stating that the cattle have not passed through any district 
infected with contagious diseases affecting animals of their kind, 
except the so-called splenetic or Texas fever; that they have not 
been exposed in any possible manner to the contagion of any con- 
tagious disease, except the so-called splenetic or Texas fever; and 
that the animals, when not trailed or driven, have been shipped in 
cars and vessels which have been cleaned and disinfected except as to 
ticks. When such cattle are not accompanied by the affidavits here- 
inbefore described they shall be detained in quarantine at the port 
of entry at the expense of the owner or importer, under the super- 
vision of the inspector, for such period as may be necessary to de- 
termine whether such cattle are entitled to entry under these' regu- 
lations. During this detention in quarantine a rigid inspection by 
an inspector of the Bureau of Animal Industry shall be made, in- 
cluding the tuberculin test if deemed necessary. All such cattle 
when entered shall be subject to the regulations governing the han- 
dling and transportation of cattle from the districts infected with 
splenetic, southern, or Texas fever; and they may be shipped from 
Texas to slaughtering centers for immediate slaughter, in com- 
pliance with the regulations of the Secretary of Agriculture govern- 
ing the interstate movement of live stock. 
Paragraph 2. All tick-infected cattle shipped by water and offered 
for importation under these regulations from the Republic of Mexico 
into that part of Texas below the southern cattle quarantine line 
shall be subject to a quarantine at the port of entry of not less than 
two days, during which period such inspection shall be made of the 
said cattle by an inspector of the Bureau of Animal Industry as may 
be deemed necessary in order to determine their eligibility for impor- 
tation under these regulations. Permits must be procured for the 
importation of cattle from any of the other countries below the 
southern cattle quarantine line in accordance with Regulation 11 of 
these regulations, and all such cattle must be accompanied by a cer- 
tificate from the local authority of the district in which the said 
animals have been continuously located for 60 days stating that no 
disease contagious to cattle has existed in said district for 60 days 
preceding and all such cattle shall be subject to the same quarantine 
and inspections as provided in this regulation for tick-infested 
cattle.
