LIVERPOOL VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION. 
lung were large, and contained matter in various stages of metamor- 
phosis, in some the material was cheesy, in others more fluid and 
puriform. 
Mr. Storrar stated that, in his opinion, tubercle in cattle was a 
very hereditary disease, affecting not only the lungs and pleura, but 
also the peritoneum proper and omentum. He had known a whole 
family so affected, and had so frequently seen its existence asso- 
ciated with abscess in the laryngeal region, that he traced a distinct 
connection between the two. 
A cordial vote of thanks to Mr. Howell was proposed by 
the President, seconded by Mr. Woods , and unanimously ac- 
corded. 
Mr. Greaves said, that the time had now arrived for him to 
vacate the Presidency of the Association, which position he had the 
honour of occupying for the past year. He cordially thanked those 
gentlemen who had supported him during his term of office, 
and hoped his successor would be still more warmly supported. 
Mr. Elam proposed a vote of thanks to the President for the 
ability, courtesy, and untiring attention with which he had in- 
variably conducted the duties pertaining to his office, and which 
were duly appreciated by every member. In seconding the propo- 
sition, Mr. Taylor said mere thanks were insufficient to express the 
true sentiments of the members. In the capacity of President he 
thought the assiduous conduct of his friend, Mr. Greaves, should be 
upheld as an example of industry and energy, not only to the 
veterinary surgeons of Lancashire, but to the entire profession. The 
vote was most cordially endorsed by all the members. 
In returning thanks, the President said he truly appreciated the 
kindly feeling of the members, and was ever pleased to exert his 
energies in a good cause. Alluding to the position he held as Pre- 
sident of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, he thought it 
would be false humility were he not to say that he did esteem it a 
great honour to occupy the chief place in the profession. He 
hoped such a juncture had now arrived, that being ably met, would 
ultimately conduce to the prosperity of veterinary science. 
Votes of thanks were accorded to the Honorary Treasurer and 
Secretary, which were briefly acknowledged respectively by Messrs. 
Harwood and Reynolds. 
The Annual Report of the Treasurer was read. 
Appointment of officers for the ensuing year was then proceeded 
with “seriatim,” and resulted in re-election of all officers to the 
respective duties performed by them during the past year. 
Mr. Lawson gave notice, that at the next meeting he should 
move a resolution — 
“ That the tea, which had hitherto been provided at the expense 
of the President, should be in future paid for out of the funds of 
the Association.” 
Richard S. Reynolds, 
Hon. Secretary.
