Advice of a similar nature has already been given by the chief 
magistrate who presides at this meeting, and whose solicitude for 
your welfare you w'ell know. The situation which I have the 
honour to fill in this school renders it imperative on me to offer 
you the best counsel that I can devise ; you will take it in good 
part, and it will make the desired impression. I am perfectly 
assured that it will. You will sustain the reputation of the 
school of Toulouse. Then, hearing of your success, with which 
we shall be hereafter associated, we shall be proud to have pre¬ 
pared you for your profession; and the veterinary school of the 
south, which excels all the others in the beauty of its architecture, 
the perfection of its arrangements, and its situation in a country 
essentially agricultural, our school, I say, will have no cause to 
envy its rivals. 
M. Lavergne, secretary to the committee, then terminated the 
sitting by reading a proces-verbal of the proceedings of the ex¬ 
aminers. Prizes were awarded to two of the pupils of the first, 
the second, the third, and the fourth year, and diplomas were 
granted to thirty-five pupils of the fourth year, whose examina¬ 
tions had been highly creditable to them.

Report of the Royal Veterinary School of Dresden 
IN THE Session of 1837-8. 
By Dr. Carl Gottlob Prinz. 
The necessity of recording the proceedings of the veterinary 
school at the close of every session has given rise to the wish 
that, at least, some extract from it should be placed before the 
public. Our intention in the present sketch is to give a slight 
history of the most prevalent diseases of the domesticated animals 
in our hospital during the last year, and the mode of treatment 
which we adopted. 
In the course of the year, 2411 were examined and treated ; 
of which there were 1429 horses, 3 asses, 106 cattle, 5 sheep, 8 
goats, 1 roe, 44 pigs, 747 dogs, 27 cats, and 41 poultry. Of 
this number there were remaining from the former year 16 horses, 
1 cow, 2 sheep, 1 goat, 1 pig, 8 dogs, and 3 cats; 56 horses 
and 12 dogs were also examined as to their soundness and capa¬ 
city lor service. 
293 horses, 2 asses, 1 cow, 3 sheep, 1 goat, 3 pigs, 160 dogs, 
4 cats, and a fowl, were admitted into the hospital, and there 
treated. Those that were brought at stated periods for advice
