408 ACCOUNT OF THE VETERINARY INSTITUTION 
and country parts, are also approved veterinary surgeons ( Appro- 
bate ThierarzteJ . 
The institute itself is very extensive, and is in most admirable 
order; it is not confined to the education of mere horse-doctors, 
but possesses hospitals and cliniques for the reception of every 
description of cattle and domestic animals. The only establish- 
ment of the kind that at all equals it is that at Alfort, near 
Paris. 
There is a good library, an extensive collection of surgical in- 
struments, shoes, and shoeing apparatus, and one of the most 
interesting museums of comparative anatomy in Vienna ; indeed, 
this is the only school where that useful and necessary branch of 
science is taught. The collection of monstrosities among the 
lower animals, as well as that of the native Mammifers of Aus- 
tria, in this department is well worthy of the inspection of the 
curious. The course of instruction is divided into the ordinary 
and extraordinary lectures in the following manner : —
