HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE. 
Dr. George Fleming, C. B. —In the Veterinary Journal 
for April, the worthy editor, Principal Williams, devotes a few 
remarks on the last honor granted to his predecessor, Dr. George 
Fleming, viz., that of a special pension given by Her Majesty 
the Queen of England. It is well for Principal Williams to have 
called the attention of the profession to the compliment paid Dr. 
Fleming, and we have no doubt that every veterinarian through¬ 
out the world will rejoice and say u well deserved.” Of the 
modern veterinary generation there are but few men who have 
worked so hard for the profession, in the various capacities that 
he has occupied. His education, his knowledge, his efforts in 
behalf of the army veterinarians of England, his literary works 
(known to the whole of the English-reading scientists, to the 
practitioners, to the students), all his professional life devoted as 
it has been to the elevation of veterinary science, deserved well 
the honor placed upon him at this period of life, when he is en¬ 
titled to retire from active work and enjoy the results of the 
good work he has done during a period of forty years. 
Director A. Degiv£. —The reward just granted by the 
Queen of England is not the only one that has recently been be¬ 
stowed upon a veterinarian on account of his past services. The

of another, which has for its recipient the worthy Director of 
the Cureghem Veterinary School, our friend and honored con-
