PROCEEDINGS IN COUNCIL. 
170 
have recently taken place in the East India Company’s service, 
and our own, of persons who have not received diplomas from 
the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons. We can only account 
for such silence on the supposition that measures are being 
concocted to represent, in the proper quarters, the expediency 
of candidates for such services undergoing the ordeal of Exam¬ 
ination of the Chartered College of Veterinary Surgeons. 
PROCEEDINGS OF TIIE COUNCIL OF THE ROYAL 
COLLEGE OF VETERINARY SURGEONS. 
Quarterly Meeting, January 30th, 1852. 
Present — The PRESIDENT (in the Chair), Messrs. Braby, 
Burley, Cherry, A. Cherry, Ernes, Henderson, 
Silvester, Stockley, Wilkinson; Professors Spooner, 
Simonds, Morton ; and the Secretary. 
The minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed.

In the prosecution of these labours, the Committee found that 
there were not any records of examinations from April 1801 to 
December 1804, it being very doubtful if any such records had 
been kept. Also that the Records of Examinations for the years 
from 1813 to 1819 were mislaid; it is, however, possible that 
such may be recovered, it being clear that they were correctly 
kept during this period. 
In consequence, it has been an extra work of great labour to 
make out a list for those periods; but it is believed that there 
are very few, if any, omissions of members of the London College. 
In every case the residence given has been that last known
