1899. 



ENGLAND AND SCOTLAND. 



Sir, May 10, 1900. 



I have the honour to submit the following Report on 

 Experiments performed in England and Scotland during the 

 year 1899, under the Act 39 and 40 Vict. c. 77, including, — 

 I. The Names of all Persons who have held Licenses 

 or Special Certificates during any part of the Year ; 

 together with a Statement of the Registered Places 

 at which the Licenses were valid, and of the Persons 

 who signed the Applications for Licenses and granted 

 Certificates under the Act. 

 II. The total Number of Experiments performed during 

 1899, classified and arranged according to their 

 general Nature. 



Report. 



The names of all those persons who held licenses during 

 1899 will be found in Tables I. and II. The total number of 

 licensees was 250, of whom 72 performed no experiments. 



The names of all those " registered places " to which 

 licensees were accredited are given in the tables. All licensees 

 were restricted to the registered place or places specified on 

 their licenses, with the exception of those who were permitted 

 to perform inoculation experiments in places other than a 

 " registered place," with the object of studying outbreaks of 

 disease among animals in remote districts. 



Tables I. and II. afford evidence, — 



1. That licenses and certificates have been granted 

 and allowed only upon the recommendation of persons 

 of high scientific standing ; 



2. That the licensees are persons who, by their train- 

 ing and education, are fitted to undertake experimental 

 work and to profit by it ; 



3. That all experimental work has been conducted in 

 suitable places.
