PROCEEDINGS IN COUNCIL. 
55 
Mr. A. Cherry presented to the Council a report of the 
proceedings of the Registration Committee. He stated that the 
Committee had held a number of meetings, and examined all 
the records that were available for their purpose. The Register 
had been prepared in a rough form, but was not quite ready for 
publication. 
REPORT. 
“The Registrar has to state for the information of the Council, 
that, assisted by the Committee, a list of the Members of the 
Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons has been prepared, 
which contains the names of the whole, or nearly the whole, of 
those who have studied at, and received diplomas from, the 
Royal Veterinary College, since its formation in 1791 to the 
year 1844. The names of those who have graduated at the 
Edinburgh College, from the years 1828 to 1840, have been made 
up from a return furnished by Professor Dick, up to the latter 
year. Application has been made for the names of those who 
graduated in the years 1841, 1842, and 1843, but which has 
not yet been replied to by Professor Dick, therefore this part of 
the list is consequently imperfect. 
“ The names of those who have graduated since the year 
1844, the date of the Charter, have been taken from the books 
of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons: the only errors 
are the unavoidable ones of the residences of many of the mem¬ 
bers, in which it is impossible to be correct, from the nature of 
the subject. 
“ These three lists have been amalgamated and arranged 
alphabetically, distinguishing those by italics whose deaths 
are known; but there is reason to believe that many of those 
whose names stand as living members have ceased to be so, 
but, unless it has been ascertained on accredited authority, no 
death has been entered. 
“ The Registrar must acknowledge the services rendered by 
the Committee, the President, Professor Simonds, Professor 
Morton, and the Secretary, who have been most assiduous and 
unremitting in the discharge of a very laborious and difficult 
task : at the same time it is but right to acknowledge the very 
handsome manner in which the records of the Royal Veterinary 
College have been placed at the disposal of the Committee, not 
only affording thereby sources of information which could not 
otherwise have been obtained, but of correcting and verifying 
entries which were otherwise erroneous or doubtful, and it is 
believed that these records will enable the Committee to supply 
the very few omissions that are supposed to exist. 
“ Proof sheets of the form adopted by the Committee are laid 
on the table, but which have to undergo examination for, and
