Report, to the General Meeting. 
Council therefore strongly recommend the Members of the Society 
to exert their influence in thpir several districts to induce the 
local authorities to use the power of compulsory slaughter which 
has recently been vested in them by the Privy Council. 
The Council are glad to report that they have received from 
the Governors of the Royal Veterinary College the announce- 
ment that a more satisfactory supply of specimens of diseased 
animals has recently been furnished to the College by Members 
of the Society ; and the Council take this opportunity of calling 
special attention to the benefits likely to result from a still larger 
number of subjects being forwarded to the College by rendering 
possible the more practical education of students of the veterinary 
art. 
By order of the Council, 
H. M. Jenkins, 
Secretary.
