to the Markets Committee, who had inspected eight sites. It 
was not the business of the Government to state which was the best 
site, but they might state that a particular site would not be satis- 
factory. After hearing what these gentlemen said, they came to the 
conclusion that there was no objection to the site chosen, which was 
at Deptford, provided the area was sufficiently large. The area had 
been stated to be only three to four acres, but he believed it was 
from twelve to fourteen, and it would enable two ships to be un- 
loaded at the same time or at any period of the tide. Then there 
were ample means of railway and other communication. The site 
was not yet definitively determined upon, the Markets Committee 
not having reported as yet to the Corporation.

Letter from Mr. Alexander Eobinson. 
Gentlemen, 
Greenock; March 1th, 1870. 
Eeferring to the report of the Council meeting of the Eoyal 
College of Veterinary Surgeons in your last number, in which my 
election as a member of the Scotch section of the board of ex- 
aminers is announced, — permit me to thank Mr. Wilkinson and 
Mr. Fleming for the kind way in which they spoke of me. In 
accepting their eulogia, however, in the very friendly spirit in which 
they were bestowed — allow me to say that in occupying a seat at the 
Scotch board, I shall endeavour to fill it in the pure technical 
interests of the profession, and without the slightest prejudice to any 
opinions I may have expressed, or may still express upon Veterinary 
politics. 
I am, Gentlemen, 
Your obedient servant.
