MARITIME-PORT INSPECTION 
SHIP INSPECTION 
Ships from foreign countries and also those from Hawaii and Puerto Rico 
are inspected promptly upon arrival for the presence of prohibited and re- 
stricted plant material in ships' stores, passengers' and crews' baggage, quar- 
ters, and in cargo. 
The inspection at ports in California, Florida, Hawaii, and at certain ports 
in Puerto Rico has been performed by State and Territorial officials serving as 
collaborators of the Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine. 
A record by ports of the ship inspection appears in table 23. Following the 
policy adopted last year, the number of ships carrying restricted plant material 
is not shown. In previous reports both prohibited and restricted plant material 
had been reported as contraband. The pest risk involved with most restricted 
plant material is apparently very small, and for that reason such material has 
not been considered in this table.
