[The operation of sub-eutaneous periosteotomy was adopted 
by the late Professor Sewell in eases of splints and ordinary 
exostosis only. It was not practised by him in cases of 
exostosis in connection with joints; as, for example, in the 
disease called spavin.] 
PRESENTATION OF A TESTIMONIAL TO 
PROFESSOR BROWN. 
On December l6th, 1862, Professor G. T. Brown was 
invited by the Professors and Students of the Royal Agricul¬ 
tural College to a dinner, which was held at the Crown 
Hotel, Cirencester. 
The object of the meeting was to present Mr. Brown with 
a testimonial, consisting of a magnificent time-piece and a 
purse of sovereigns for the purchase of a microscope. 
The time-piece bore the following inscription: 
“ PRESENTED TO 
PROFESSOR BROWN, 
BY 
THE PROFESSOKS AND STUDENTS OF THE ROYAL 
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, 
AS A TOKEN OF THEIR ESTEEM AND APPRECIATION OF HIS LONG AND 
VALUABLE SERVICES TO THE INSTITUTION. 
Becemher 1, 1862.” 
The proceedings were marked by the greatest unanimity, 
and showed throughout that, whatever may be the feeling as 
regards the recent disagreements at the college, only one 
sentiment animated the large attendance, both of professors 
and pupils, as regards Professor Brown, which was the pro¬ 
found regret with which they viewed his departure from 
among them. 
That this was no sudden act, merely induced by recent 
events, is further evidenced by the fact that^ some years 
since, the professor received a testimonial of a handsome 
silver tankard at the hands of his pupils.
