38 ORGANIZATION AND FUNCTION. 



To meet the situation, combined Bacteriological and Hygiene 

 Laboratories would be suitable for Veterinary Service. 



In the B. E. F., France, a Base Bacteriological Laboratory 

 was located at Eouen. It was complete with all modern 

 apparatus, presented by the Royal Society for the Prevention of 

 Cruelty to Animals from their subscribed Fund, and performed 

 useful work. The same Society fitted out small laboratories 

 for diagnosis purposes with five Veterinary Hospitals on Lines 

 of Communication. A desire also was expressed to attach a 

 sinall Motor Laboratory to the Headquarters of each Army; 

 and without question it was a step in the right direction. It is 

 an item of veterinary organization which should be considered 

 in future mobilisation.
