be held on Thursday, November 9th, when the Fellows will take 
into consideration the means of carrying on certain experimental 
observations. Mr. F. J. Mavor having some propositions to make 
relative thereto, it is hoped a commencement will be definitely 
made in various branches of investigation, which as a primary 
object the Society has from the first set forth. 
It was also decided that the meetings should be continued 
monthly as hitherto, when an opportunity will be presented for 
the usual discussion of matters relating to veterinary science and 
the examination of morbid specimens contributed by the Fellows.
