ROYAL COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SURGEONS. 505 
Robinson, of Greenock, and Mr. Robt. Bell Paterson, of Dum- 
fries, both of whom are believed to be eminently qualified to 
fulfil the duties pertaining to this office. 
Eighty-nine pupils from the different schools have received 
the diploma of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons 
during the past year. 
Presentations have been made to the Library and Museum 
of the College by the Surgeon-General of the U.S. Army, by 
Professors Gamgee, Tuson, and Armatage, and G. Fleming, 
Esq., F.R.G.S., Royal Engineers. 
The Annual Register of the Members of the Royal College 
of Veterinary Surgeons has again been issued gratuitously 
to the profession. It is hoped that information recording the 
death or change of residence of any member which may 
occur will be at once communicated to the Registrar. 
The Council have to record the death of thirty-eight mem- 
bers of the profession since the last Annual Meeting. Among 
these they may mention W. J. Goodwin, Esq., M.R.C.S., of 
Hampton Court, lateV.S. to the Queen. To him the profession 
was much indebted for the prominent part he took in obtaining 
the Royal Charter of Incorporation. He was elected one of 
the first Members of the Council, which office he held during 
a period of seventeen years. He was also President of the 
College in 1853, and a Member of the Court of Examiners 
for six years, when he tendered his resignation. For eight 
years he held the office of Vice-President, until failing health 
prevented his attendance at the Council Board. His numerous 
contributions to the Library and Museum of the College bear 
testimony to his uniform liberality and to the great interest 
he took in the welfare of the Royal College of Veterinary 
Surgeons. 
Another member of the profession, deeply regretted, is the 
late Mr. John Lawson, of Manchester. He was for many 
years a much esteemed Member of the Council. He also 
zealously officiated as one of the members of the Scotch 
Section of the Court of Examiners, and was elected President 
of the College in 1866. 
The Council have likewise to record the death of Dr. 
Dalzell, Professor of Chemistry at the Edinburgh Veterinary 
College. Though a young member of the profession, he was 
esteemed by the students as an efficient teacher. 
In the Financial Report it is stated that it has been deemed 
advisable to invest the sum of £500 in the Three per Cent. 
Consols, in the names of three Trustees who were appointed 
in accordance with the Bye-laws of the College. This report 
is annexed.
