THE NORFOLK AND EASTERN COUNTIES 
VETERINARY MEDICAL ASSOCIATION. 
The sixth quarterly meeting of the above Association was held 
on Tuesday, January 4t.h, at the Norfolk Hotel, Norwich. Mr. F. 
Low, Y.P., in the unavoidable absence of the President, occupied 
the chair. 
There were also present — Messrs. W. Smith and J. W. Riches, 
Norwich ; R. Cleveland, Wymondham j G. H. Plumbley, Skeyton ; 
D. G. Hunting, Loddon ; and the Hon. Secretary. 
Letters of apology were received from several gentlemen who 
were unable to attend. 
The minutes of the previous meeting having been read and con- 
firmed, a communication, enclosing a resolution received from the 
Yorkshire Veterinary Medical Association was read. It was as 
follows : — 
“That it is the opinion of this Society that the Veterinary Medi- 
cal Societies of the United Kingdom are of sufficient importance to 
be represented in Council. And further, that this Society is of 
opinion that if each Society in the United Kingdom would send 
one of its members to represent its views in Council, the profession 
would be more thoroughly represented, and thereby the Council so 
constituted would be better able to bring about the desired changes 
so much needed, and which are so essential, before our profession 
can claim that status in society which, as one of the liberal profes- 
sions, it has a right to expect.” 
The resolution having been put to the meeting, on the motion of 
Mr. Smith, seconded by Mr. Riches, it was unanimously adopted. 
The Hon. Secretary was also requested to inform the Secretary of 
the Yorkshire Veterinary Medical Association of the desire of the 
Norfolk and Eastern Counties Association to co-operate with other 
Associations in effecting the object in view. 
Mr. Overed , in accordance with a previous notice, moved that 
the quarterly meetings of the Association be held in future on the 
first Saturday (instead of Tuesday) in January, April, July, and 
October. He trusted that by this means they would be able to 
secure a larger attendance of members residing in the country. The 
motion was seconded by Mr. Smith , and carried nem. con. 
Mr. R. Cleveland , M.R.C.V.S., Wymondham, then read a very 
instructive and interesting paper on “ Parturient Apoplexy in 
Cows,” which elicited a lengthened and animated discussion, in 
which most of the gentlemen present took part. 
A vote of thanks having been passed to the Essayist for his 
interesting paper, and to Mr. Low for his conduct in the chair, the 
proceedings terminated by the members dining together. 
(Signed) J. D. Overed, 
Hon. Secretary.
