THE BUFFALO CONVENTIONS AND THE REVIEW. 
When the veterinarians return from their sojourn at the 
great quadruple meeting of veterinary medical associations in 
Buffalo, one of the first things that will greet them will be this 
September issue of the American Veterinary Review. We 
regret that our regular day of issuance and the day set

each month is and is to be inviolable. For this reason' the 
complete programme, as far as was obtainable, was printed in 
the August number. And this month we simply extend to the 
veterinary fraternity our compliments and congratulations upon 
the promise of the largest outpouring of its members that ever 
gathered in one city in the history of the world. At the same 
time, we desire to make the announcement that our intention is 
to present our readers with the most complete report of the 
proceedings of the conventions at Buffalo that has ever been 
printed in one issue of a professional periodical. If it is possi¬ 
ble, a verbatim transcription of the deliberations of the meetings 
will be printed in that single number, with as many of the pa¬ 
pers read as is possible in a great many pages, together with a 
general rksumb of the work accomplished, and other interesting 
information concerning the great event, which will not in any 
particular interfere with the regular departments of the publi¬ 
cation. Every veterinarian in North America should possess a
