The Meeting assembled in the Board Room of the Royal College 
of Veterinary Surgeons, 10, Red Lion Square, which had been again 
kindly granted for the occasion by the President and Council. 
After the minutes of the previous meetings were read and signed, 
and various letters considered, the Report of the Sub-Committee was 
read by the Secretary as follows :
