justice to it, and the Professor warmly and kindly expressed his 
feelings. 
In the early part of the evening, and after the Secretary had 
given a long account of the general proceedings, Professor Simonds 
arose, and entered on a long and interesting account of the differ- 
ent epidemics of cattle, and which was continued until the sum-
