Post Mortem Reports. 



Important Notice : In consequence of the pressure of 

 War Work our Hon. Vet., Mr. H. Gray, M.R.C.V.S., has been 

 unable to send in the usual Report, and he now is compelled to 

 relinquish the office of Hon. Vet. for the time being". We beg in 

 the name of the Club to render Mr. Gray our sincere thanks for 

 the valuable service he has rendered to the club since March 1907 

 and our regrets that the " times " compel him to lay it aside. As 

 soon as other arrangements can be made for the continuance of 

 this important feature of the club's work it will be resumed, of 

 which due notice will be given. 



In the meantime Post Mortem examinations are sus- 

 pended.
