carried. In order to rectify this accident, however, and remedy 
t 
the harm, if any has been done, we furnish with the present num¬ 
ber a title page of Yolume XI, more according to' our first design, 
with an accompanying list of the names of the friends whose con¬ 
tributions have made the Review what it is and what it has been, 
and to whom, with many others, we shall continue to look to 
communicate interest and value to our pages in the future. 
.In recapitulating the names of these gentlemen, we are but 
doing them simple justice. Considering the sparseness in num

aside from any volition of our own, have interposed to prevent 
our coming to any definite determination of the question. But 
we are hopeful that as the result of sundry inquiries which we 
have instituted, and to which we are awaiting satisfactory answers, 
we shall soon be able to solve the problem. 
The birth of the Review occurred at a meeting of the United 
States Veterinary Medical Association, and being thus brought into 
existence, it has been both a duty and a pleasure with us, in the first 
number of each volume, to offer a sort of token of respect to our 
putative parent, by recording the proceedings of the meetings 
which the Association has for twenty-four years been accustomed
