ROYAL COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SURGEONS. 299 
“That a Committee be appointed to prepare a consecutive account 
of the finances of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, from 
its formation to the present time.” 
The Secretary , as registrar, reported that he had received during 
the past year accounts of the death of twenty-two members of the 
College, stating, however, that all the deaths had not occurred 
within the year. The number of Admissions during the year was 
twenty-nine. 
Prof. Simonds suggested that another edition of the Register 
should be prepared, in consequence of the removal by death, or 
otherwise, of many members, and the alteration of the addresses of 
others, which had been ascertained since the publication of the last 
edition. He further suggested, that to facilitate reference, the 
names should be geographically as well as alphabetically arranged. 
Mr. Cherry proposed, that the names of members known cer- 
tainly to be dead, should be printed in a separate list, and not simply 
distinguished by being printed in italics. 
Mr. Henderson , as a member of the House Committee, reported, 
that pending the negociations of the solicitor with the assignees of 
the house in Hart Street, Bloomsbury, which the Council at the 
last meeting resolved to purchase, the premises had been sold to 
another party, so that the Council would have to seek a residence 
elsewhere. 
Prof. Simonds suggested that a sheet of vellum should be kept by 
the Council, on which should be inscribed the names of the prin- 
cipal officers of the College from its foundation. 
The proceedings then terminated. 
Special Meeting of Council, April 20tii, 1853. 
Present : The President, Messrs. Braby, Burley, Cherry, A. 
Cherry, Dickens, Ernes, Henderson, Nice, Peech, Pritchard, 
Stockley, Silvester, and Wilkinson. Professors Spooner, Simonds, 
and Morton, and the Secretary. 
The President in the Chair. 
The minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed. 
Mr. Cherry asked if he could now bring forward his motion (of 
which he had previously given notice) respecting the finances of 
the College. 
The Chairman said the meeting was a special one, and that, 
consequently, Mr. Cherry’s motion could not then be entertained ; 
but at any subsequent general meeting its consideration could of 
course be entered upon. 
The Secretary read the Annual Abstract of the Proceedings of the 
Council during the past year, to be laid before the Annual General 
Meeting. 
On the motion of the Treasurer, seconded by Prof. Simonds, the 
Abstract was unanimously adopted.
