Report to the General Meeting. 
feeding, akin to that of last year, has also been carried out. 
Reports of all these experiments will be communicated in the 
Journal. 
As announced in the last Report, four Local Societies (the 
Essex Agricultural Society, the Norfolk Chamber of Agriculture, 
the Royal Manchester Liverpool and North Lancashire Society, 
and the Yorkshire Agricultural Society) had undertaken to 
conduct practical experiments in Agriculture in conjunction 
with the Royal Agricultural Society. The several Societies 
have duly presented their Reports, and a summary of them 
appears in the current number of the Journal. The same four 
Societies have expressed their willingness to continue further 
experiments during 1887. 
With reference to the Country Meeting of 1888, an invitation 
having been received by the Council from the authorities of 
Nottingham, a Committee of Inspection was appointed to visit 
the locality, and deputations from Nottingham having had 
interviews with the Council, after due deliberation it was re- 
solved to hold the Country Meeting of 1888 in that town. 
It has been decided that the prizes for Cheese in 1888 shall 
be for Cheddar, Cheshire, Stilton and Cheese of any other 
British make, made in 1887, 
As 1889 is the Jubilee Year of the Society, it is proposed that 
the Country Meeting shall then be held in the neighbourhood of 
the Metropolis, and that the Show for the succeeding year shall 
still be held in District D. 
The examiners of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons 
have reported that of the students from the Royal Veterinary 
College who have obtained the Diploma of the Royal College of 
Veterinary Surgeons, the following two passed best and thereby

The Council have granted an annual subsidy of 200/. to the 
Royal Veterinary College, for instruction in Cattle Pathology.

gations into the life-history of the lung-worm in calves and 
sheep.
