SOCIETY MEETINGS. 
of the last meeting, secretary and registrar’s reports, commun¬ 
ications, etc., a discussion ensued, relating to the Act recently 
passed in the Provincial Legislature respecting veterinary 
surgeons, and a fine having been imposed under that act 
upon a person for falsely claiming the title, which fine should 
have been paid over to the funds of this Association. 
The following new members were then duly elected: W. 
J. Morgan, V.S., F. G. Hutton, V.S., and J. Wagner, V.S. 
Prof. S. Sisson, of the Ontario Veterinary College, read 
an excellent paper on “Undescended Testicle in the Horse.” 
In the discussion that followed, Mr. Quinn, V.S., who has 
had much experience in the castration of cryptorchids, warmly 
complimented Mr. Sisson on the excellence of his anatomical 
desciption of the condition existing. 
Mr. A. Crowforth, V.S., read a very interesting paper on 
“ Toxin and Antitoxin,” in relation to the cause, cure, pre¬ 
vention and diagnosis of disease.

new copies of the register printed, and to have incorporated 
in the pamphlet the act respecting veterinary surgeons re¬ 
cently passed, for distribution to members of the Association.
