Foot and Mouth Disease.-This Wisease wis more or less' prevalent during the year. In the early part of the summer the disease was of very virulent type but it became much more mild towards the end of the your,
Anthrax.-Four cases of anthrax occurred three of them in June and one is October. The three cases in June were all in one shipment and all died within three days of arrival. The case in October was in a bullock that had been in the Depol for 10 days.
Rinderpost-Cares of this disease were met
with throughout the year and the Chinese im- porter state that the disease was prevalent, on the mainland. As a rule the dealers send down only those cattle that appear to them to be healthy but as these cattle have been in contact with sick cattle, some develop the disease after

Parasites. A few cases of whipworm (Tricocephalus affiois) were found in young animals, but probably many more exist, as this worm owing to ite small size is not easy to find. unless by careful searching. It does not appear to be of much economic importance.
Large numbers of filaria were found in the wall of the aortas of both Chinese, cattle and
water buffaloes. These have been described
by Lingard as occurring in lodia and have also been found in catils in the Straite Settlements. They give rise to an atheromatous condition of the blood vessels but do not appear to be fatal, I bave not been able to God the embryo form in the blood.

DAIRIES AND COWS{{EDS. A somewhat severa outbreak of cinderpest occurred at the Dairy Farm Company's pre misas: In the beginning the type of diseaID WAS severe but a milder type prevailed later. Serum inoculations were carried out with fairly antis. factory results and a number of young stock wero ̈immunised against the disease by the simuliaceous incculation method. Toward the end of the year the disease again appeared and serum laccalations were again.practised. The outbreak was not foished at the end of the year. Foot and mouth disease broke out in Ken- medy's Dairy and the Dairy Farm Company's premises at almost the same time. The type of the disease was very severe.
The Chinese dairies were free from epi- demics.
IMPORTATION OF BEEF AND MUTTON. · The importations, of fresh beef and mutton were respectively 338,270 lbs, and 301,130 lbs. This meat is imported from Australia by the Dairy Farm Company.
INSPECTION OF CATTLE TRANSPORTS. Under Ordinanca No. 15 of 1903, 81 vlults of inspection were paid to ships leaving the Colony with more than ten head of cattle on board. Is 1987, 159. such visits were paid.; The decrease is due to the fact that the importation of cattle into the Philippine Islands from Hong. kong was for some time forbidden by the Philippine Government on account'of disanie. In connection with this matter I was sent down tó "Manila toʻmake fnquiries and see what could be done towards re-opening the trade. The regulations for the import of cattle into the Philippines were modified tentatively and subsequently further alterations were made with the result that the cattle export trade
recommenced. Ultimately the cattle trade
between here and the Philippines passed whol ly into the bands, of an American-Filipino syndicate who employ a veterinary surgeon of their own to inoculate all cattle against Rinder past, and by the end of the year the trade bad resumed its former dimensions,
