VETERINARY INSTITUTION-ROYAL DUBLIN SOCIETY. 227 
tion of the ground adjoining. The Committee have obtained 
a ground-plan of the buildings, which they beg to submit 
herewith. 
“The Committee consider that the anatomy-room may be 
available for the examination and preparation of animals for 
the Museum of Natural History, and may thus become an 
important agent for the extension of a knowledge of com¬ 
parative anatomy, not only among the veterinary students, 
but those engaged in the study of zoology generally. 
“With regard to the staff which will be necessary for 
carrying out the course of instruction which may be deter¬ 
mined on, the Committee xvould suggest that the lecturer on 
anatomy, surgery, and medicine, should appoint, under the 
sanction of the Society, a properly qualified person as an anato¬ 
mical demonstrator; he should also attend the infirmary, and 
in addition to his ordinary lectures on anatomy, surgery, and 
medicines, should give clinical instruction in the infirmary, 
the management of "which should be undertaken by him on 
his own responsibility. 
“The Society having already a professor of chemistry, it 
will be unnecessary to provide a lecturer on this branch of 
education; but the Committee are of opinion that this officer 
might undertake to lecture on the materia medica used in the 
treatment of animals, a duty wffiich the present professor is 
willing to undertake. 
“The Committee beg to submit an approximate estimate 
of the cost of erection of the necessary buildings, together 
with the expense of the staff of officers and servants.
