Finance. 
Mr. SandAY for Sir Nigel Kings- 
cote (Chaiiman), reported that ac- 
counts amounting in all to 3,205Z. 
10^. del. had been passed, and were 
recommended for payment. The 
Committee recommended that the 
entry fees for cattle entered but not 
sent by exhibitors who had shown 
other cattle at the Dublin Spring 
Show, or who could not send their 
animals in consequence of their being 
in scheduled districts, be returned to 
their owners. 
Journal. 
Earl Cathcart (Chairman) re- 
ported that the June number of the 
Journal had been printed off, and 
that copies would be issued to mem- 
bers in the course of a few days. He 
laid upon the table several copies of 
the new number. The Committee 
recommended the payment of various 
accounts for printing and for literary 
contributions in connection with the 
Journal. An application by Dr. 
Kaineri, of the Giornale di Agricol- 
tiira, Piacenza, for permission to re- 
print in Italian Dr. Crookshank's 
article on the tubercle bacillus, ap- 
pearing in Part I. of the Journal this 
year, had been granted on the usual 
conditions. 
In presenting this report Lord 
Cathcart remarked that the Journal 
was due to appear on June 30, and 
he thought it was very creditable to 
their Journal arrangements that they 
had issued this number notwithstand- 
ing the preoccupations of the Show, 
and that the copies would be de- 
spatched to members by the very day 
of publication. 
Veterinary. 
Sir John Thohold (Chairman) re- 
ported that the Secretary had laid 
upon the table a statement of the 
action taken by him to carry out the 
resolution of the Council, passed on 
the 3rd instant, with reference to the 
exclusion of cattle from scheduled 
districts. This action, and the issue 
of the Secretary's circular of the 
11th instant, had been approved. An 
acknowledgment by the Board of 
Agriculture of the resolution of the 
Council relating to swine fever had 
been laid upon the table. 
The following report had been pre- 
sented by Professor Brown : — 
Pleuro-Pneumonia. — Since the 
last meeting of the Veterinary 
Committee the pleuro-pneumonia 
returns for the three weeks ended 
June 13 have been published in the 
London Gazette. During this period 
fifty-seven cattle affected with the 
disease were slaughtered, by order 
of the Board of Agriculture, in the 
counties of Lancaster, London, 
Middlesex, Northumberland, and 
York (West Riding), in England; 
Aberdeen, Forfar, and Mid-Lothian, 
in Scotland. In addition to the 
above, 735 healthy cattle, which 
had been in contact with the dis- 
eased animals or otherwise exposed 
to the risk of infection, were 
slaughtered by order of the Board, 
as were also eight cattle suspected 
of being affected, but which were 
found on post-mortem examination 
to be free from pleuro-pi^eumonia, 
although suffering from other forms 
of lung disease. Three outbreaks, 
involving nearly 400 cattle, were 
reported within a few days of each 
other. The first of these was on 
the Knavesmirc, at York ; the 
second in the county of Middlesex; 
and the tliird in London. 
Swine-fever. — This disease still 
continues widely spread, and more 
or less prevalent in nearly every 
county in England. The fresh out- 
breaks have recently been about
