MISCELLANEA. 
The whole of the digestive canal, from the gizzard, was filled 
with puriform mucosities, and not containing any food. The mus- 
cles were in general of a deep red colour. The liver was of a 
vivid red, but preserved its ordinary consistence. 
It has been difficult to give an account of the nature of these 
peculiarities. We have carefully examined every part, but we 
have found nothing beyond the usual villosities. 
Whence, then, comes the yellow matter which covers these 
places 1 Is it a secretion from these follicles 1 The colour of the 
liver induces us to think that this yellow matter, which is spread 
over the intestine, is the bile in an altered state. We are disposed 
to regard this malady as an hepato-intestinal inflammation : some- 
times we should call this affection bilious fever. 
It was determined to destroy the whole of the remaining birds.

Mr. Fisher Hobbs having brought forward his motion on the 
subject of the annual grant made by the Society to the Royal 
Veterinary College, for the purpose of promoting the application 
of veterinary science to the pathology and diseases of cattle, sheep, 
and pigs, Mr. Denison, M.P. detailed to the Council the circum- 
stances under which that grant originated, and the willingness of 
the College to afford the fullest investigation into the mode in 
which they had endeavoured to carry out the views of the Society. 
On the motion of Mr. Shaw, seconded by Mr. Shelley, the fol- 
lowing Committee were then appointed to confer with the College 
on the subject, and report to the Council the course which had been 
pursued for the purpose of obtaining the objects proposed by the 
Society; viz.
