In addition to the figures given in table 13, the transit inspectors intercepted 141 
shipments moving intrastate in violation of State quarantines relating to pests 
covered by Federal quarantines and enforced by the States concerned in coopera- 
tion with this Bureau. 
FOREIGN PLANT QUARANTINES 
The 22 foreign plant quarantines and regulatory orders of the Department 
prohibiting or restricting the entry of various plants and plant products into the 
United States are enforced through the Division of Foreign Plant Quarantines 
by inspectors and collaborators stationed at the more important ports of entry 
and foreign-mail distributing points, and working in close cooperation with 
employees of other Government departments. Detailed information on these 
quarantines and orders is available in other publications and is therefore omitted. 
In succeeding sections explanations of enforcement activities in connection with 
these quarantines and orders are given in more detail and are accompanied by 
tables presenting in condensed form records which indicate the scope of the work 
or which summarize its results. 
RECORDS OF IMPORTS OF RESTRICTED PLANTS AND PLANT PRODUCTS 
Under the various foreign quarantines certain plants and plant products are 
restricted as to entry, arc subject to inspection and, it" necessary, disinfection, for 
the purpose of excluding plant diseases and insect pests. Among such restricted 
plants and plant products are nursery slock, plants, bulbs, and seeds; fruits and 
vegetables; grains from certain countries; cotton, cotton waste, cotton wrappings 
(bagging), and cottonseed products; also cotton ! cotton, and cottonseed 
hulls from the Imperial Valley, Lower California, Mexico. A record of the 
importation of the products inspected by inspectors of the Bureau and, if nec- 
essary, treated under their supervision, is given.
