as a observer of disease in plants to MM “be experienced, 
in diagnosing injury to vegetation of all -inds. From the Gardens, 
when notified by your preventive service of the arrival of plants 
to be inspected, he will proceed to the docks or other place to 
examine the consignment and will admi t, refuse admittance or quarai> 
tine them as necessary. 
5. He will establish a small quarantine observation plant- 
« 
house in Singapore. 
6. Tntry or exit of plants into or from Pans^g would have to 
to be controlled by the Assistant Curator; and that officer in 
difficulties would refer to higher officers ir this Department. He 
will also need a small quarantine plant house. 
7. I do not believe that your pcCfc officers are ready at 
the moment to excercis© any discretion in stopping forbidden 
vegetation from entry. They must be taught these duties or our 
orders are useless. They gust be taught to report by telephone to 38K 
the proper authority when any material arrives which seems possibly 
prchibi ted.
