toasts had been drunk, the Chairman in very flattering terms re- 
viewed the business of the meeting, and stated the great pleasure it 
had afforded him to preside over their deliberations. He trusted 
that the present meeting among many others would only stimulate 
them to renewed energy in the cause they all had so much at heart, 
viz., the prosperity of veterinary science. He also dwelt particu- 
larly upon the great advantages to be derived from periodical 
gatherings such as the present, not only for the transaction of 
business in connection with the Association, but for the promotion 
of social intercourse among its members. 
The members separated after having spent a most pleasant and 
agreeable evening. It was resolved to meet again in the same place 
in May next. Mr. Connachie, Selkirk, promised to introduce a paper, 
of which due intimation will be given.
