In the Veterinary Department. 



1. Members of the society have all the privileges of 

 subscribers to the Royal Veterinary College, so far as the 

 admission for treatment of cattle, sheep and swine is con- 

 cerned, without being called upon to pay the annual subscrip- 

 tion to the college of two guineas ($10.50). The charges 

 made by the college for keep and treatment are as follows : 

 cattle, 10s. M. ($2,621) . sheep and pigs, 3s. Gel. ($0,871) 

 per week for each animal. 



2. The full privileges of subscribers, including the 

 examination of horses, and the admission of horses and dogs 

 into the college infirmary for surgical or medical treatment, 

 on payment of the cost of keep, will beaccorded to mem- 

 bers of the society on payment of a subscription to the col- 

 lege of one guinea instead of two guineas per annum. 



A schedule of prices is given for consultation analyses, 

 and examinations at the Veterinary College, and for investi- 

 gation of outbreaks of diseases among farm stock. The 

 member will be relieved from payment of fee if the out- 

 break proves to be of an important character, or of general 

 interest. Members of the Royal Agricultural Society are 

 requested to send to the Veterinary College any diseased 

 animals (cattle, sheep or swine) which they would otherwise 

 destroy as useless, and also any diseased parts of an unusual 

 character. 



A list of "provincial veterinary surgeons" is published 

 in the journals, who are recommended by the society, but 

 with whom the members must arrange as to payment of 

 fees. ("Provincial" here means living in different districts 

 of England.) 



In the entomological department, the charge is fixed, for 

 members, at 2s. Gd. ($0.62^) for the determination of the 

 species of any insect, worm or other animal, which, in any 

 stage of its life, injuriously affects farm crops, with a report 

 on its habits, and suggestions as to the methods of prevention 

 and remedy.
