The minutes of the preceding meeting were read and 
confirmed. 
Professor' Brown said, in reference to a statement in the 
minutes, that the Secretary, in answer to certain queries, 
had written that particular persons* names were not on the 
Register, and that, therefore, the persons were not members 
of the College, said he thought it was quite sufficient to say 
the name was not on the Register. 
Letters were read from Professor Williams, of the Edin- 
burgh Veterinary College, regretting that he was unable to 
attend the meeting ; also one from Mr. Gowing, who was 
indisposed. 
A letter was read from Messrs. Sheppard and Riley, of 
Moorgate Street, written at the request of Mrs. Goodwin, 
thanking the Council of the Royal College of Veterinary 
Surgeons for their kind sympathy expressed in the letter of 
condolence of October 7th, and regretting her inability to do 
so herself on account of continued ill health. 
Letters were read to the following effect, together with the 
replies : — 
A letter from Mr. Graham Mitchell, of Calcutta, who 
holds the Highland and Agricultural Society's Certificate, 
dated 1854, asking to be informed of the conditions on which 
he and other candidates residing abroad could obtain the 
diploma of the College. He had been informed, in reply, 
that he would be allowed a written examination on conform- 
ing to the rules laid down by the Veterinary Committee of 
the Court of Examiners. The other candidates referred to 
in his letter would be required to make a similar and distinct 
application, stating the dates of their certificates. 
Mr. Wilkinson wished to know whether the questions put 
to Mr. Mitchell would be the same as those put orally to 
candidates in England. 
The Secretary replied that he had merely answered the 
letter ; he had not sent the questions.
