The last annual report referred to the proposed erection 
of a Pathological Laboratory and Infirmary at the Gardens. 
This was completed before the end of the year, a large part of 
the cost being met by the appropriation of $5000 from the 
City Councils. The building is 72 by 32 feet in size and 
contains a receiving room, an infirmary, an operating room, 
and a laboratory. A cold storage vault and an incinerating 
furnace are connected v/ith it. The laboratory was opened 
for work on February 11th with a full equipment of ap- 
paratus, which the Society owes to the generosity of one of 
its Directors, and it is proposed that as far as possible, all 
animals dying in the Gardens shall be submitted to 
thorough examination of all morbid conditions which can 
be detected. Some lines of experimental work in the direc- 
tion of preventive treatment of communicable diseases are 
already in progress.
