FORMATION OF A NEW VETERINARY SOCIETY. 
want of which has been hitherto sadly felt by all who have 
the advancement of their profession at heart, and I trust 
that both you and others will yet hear much of the good 
effects of the present movement. 
I send you a copy of the minutes of the meeting, by which 
you will see that I was instructed to forward a report for 
your journal, and which I hope you will do me the favour 
to insert notwithstanding it is late in the month. It affords 
me also much pleasure to state, that it is the wish of this 
Society to be on the most friendly terms with the “Vete- 
rinary Medical Association ” existing in your part of the 
country, and that it will gladly receive any suggestion which 
you may think important, and also that it wishes to act for the 
good of the profession, and to do away with any petty jealousy 
which may exist between the members of the different colleges. 
I remain, yours, &c. 
Charles Moir. 
Hon . Secretary.
