NEW VIEWS REGARDING ROARERS. 151 
under the superintendence of a board unacquainted with the 
subject. 
The plan proposed by Mr. Hodgson is, that the Hon. Company- 
should have a veterinary professor, who should be an honorary- 
professor at the Veterinary College, where he should deliver, 
at stated periods, a General Course of Lectures on Breeding, 
Hearing, Management, Shoeing, and Diseases of Horses, Camels, 
and neat Cattle in India, that the students of the College ap- 
pointed to the army in India might be particularly acquainted 
with the duties that would be required of them. To these 
lectures should also be admitted, gratis, such of the Hon. Com- 
pany’s civil, military, and medical servants who might wish to 
attend, which would be preferable to delivering lectures at Hert- 
ford and Addiscombe Colleges, as is done by Mr. Coleman to the 
cadets at Woolwich. 
The Professor should likewise be referee on these affairs, the 
principles and practices of which would thus be better under- 
stood, and expensive experiments prevented in India. 
That veterinarians should be appointed on the general staff, 
and attached to the divisions of the army in India, with a staff 
salary in addition to the pay and allowances received by the 
veterinary surgeons of His Majesty’s dragoons now in India, 
whose services might be available on this plan.
