to make with the several schools. The Committee left to 
the Council the decision as to the best mode of procedure in 
this matter. 
The President : In the event of an adverse reply being 
received from the Governors of the London College between 
this and the next meeting of the Council, it will be almost 
necessary to call a special meeting. 
Professor Simonds : The Council might empower the 
Committee to deal with any reply which it receives. 
Mr. Naylor : I think it is quite in the power of the Com- 
mittee to attend to that. 
Mr. Gowing : Do I understand that it will be left to the 
Committee to find suitable premises ? 
Professor Simonds : They must make every inquiry with 
regard to expense, &c., and then bring up their report. 
Form of the Record of Examination. 
The President : It is proposed that the examiners who 
conduct the practical part of the examination relating to the 
horse and cattle respectively shall fill up columns in the 
examination form in the same way as is now done with regard 
to chemistry, pathology, &c. 
It was then agreed to amend the Form now in use by the 
Court of Examiners so as to meet this necessity. 
The Registrar read the list of deaths reported during the 
past quarter. These included the name of Professor Miller, 
one of the members of the Court of Examiners. 
Professor Simonds : The list which we have just been 
listening to appears to be a very heavy one, and certainly 
its mournfulness is considerably added to by recording the 
death of Professor Miller. I only express the feelings of 
every gentleman around this Board when I say that we have 
received this announcement with very great regret. In the 
capacity of one of our examiners, he has so conducted his 
examination as to win not only the respect of his colleagues, 
but also the respect of those whom he examined. I do not 
think there is a single member who has entered the profes- 
sion since Dr. Miller became an examiner who did not regard 
him as a friend. Under these melancholy circumstances, I 
would suggest that we send a letter of condolence to the family 
of Professor Miller, and express, in as sympathising language 
as we possibly can, our deep regret at their bereavement. 
Assistant-Professor Pritchard seconded the motion, which 
was unanimously agreed to. 
The President : At the next meeting of the Council it will 
be desirable that a successor to Dr. Miller be appointed.
