It will be seen by the Financial Statement which is an¬ 
nexed, that unusually heavy disbursements have been made 
during the year, but these being exceptional, they will not 
ultimately affect the state of the finances of the College. The 
balance in liand, after defraying the expenses of the vear, is 
£297 IH. Id. 
From the Registrars Report it appears that the num¬ 
ber of deaths recorded during the year has been 19; and 
that 71 pupils have obtained the Diploma of the Royal 
College of Veterinary Surgeons during the same period.
