PROCEEDINGS OF THE COUNCIL. 
having received a negative answer, expressed his regret that they had not done 
so, as the funds had risen since that period. 
The Treasurer stated that the matter had been left entirely to the discretion 
of the Trustees, and he had no doubt they had exercised their judgment in not 
having made the investment. 
The Secretary moved for the appointment of a Committee to procure a residence 
for the College ; he said he had had the subject under his consideration, in accord, 
ance with a previous order in Council, for some time past, but had been unable to 
recommend any particular locality to the Council, and he was therefore anxious 
that a Committee should be formed. He was desirous that eligible rooms should 
be secured, where a museum and library could be established, and that a resident 
officer should be on the spot ; this he considered more particularly required for 
the convenience of the country membe^l, for whom at present there was no 
rallying point to meet and consider veterinary affairs. He had some hundred or 
two volumes which he was ready to transfer to any library that may be formed, 
and he knew others who had large numbers of books and preparations who would 
be willing to give them up for a similar purpose. The Secretary then proposed 
that Professor Spooner, Mr. William Field, and Mr. Henderson should constitute 
the Committee. 
Mr. Braby seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. 
Mr. Mayer expressed a hope that the Committee would secure apartments as 
soon as possible, and not wait till they could accomplish everything they might 
desire. 
Cheques were ordered for the current expenses of the quarter. 
The Chairman named Messrs. Turner, Henderson, and the Secretary as the 
Committee of supervision, &c., and the proceedings then terminated. 
Alexander Henderson, 
James Turner, 
Edward N. Gabriel.
