Eleven candidates for admission to membership were recommended by the 
Comitia Minora. 
The regular meeting met at 11.45 a. m., with Prof. Liautard in the chair. 
Nearly fifty members answered roll call. The minutes of last meeting were 
adopted, with but one exception: the Secretary having recorded Dr. Salmon as 
being elected an honorary member, while he was elected an active one. The min¬ 
utes of the Comitia Minora were also read and approved. 
The Committee on Intelligence and Education gave very interesting reports 
from Drs. Paquin of Missouri, and Mclnness of South Carolina. The report was

able termination of its labors. 
The Committee on Diseases, through Dr. Zuill, reported at length and stated 
the prevalence and extent of chicken cholera, hog cholera, rabies, anthrax, glan¬ 
ders and farcy, tuberculosis, contagious pleuro-pneumonia, and also as the Com¬ 
mittee incline, the non-contagious disease, cerebro-spinal meningitis. The Com¬ 
mittee received a vote of thanks, and their report was ordered on file. 
The Prize Committee were at first unable to decide upon the merits of the 
two papers ’presented. Dr. L. H. Howard was added to the Committee, in the 
absence of J. C. Meyer, Sr., and the papers referred back for a report at this 
meeting. 
The Committee on Army Legislation presented a printed bill, but nothing 
more was done by the Associatiou than to accept the bill. The Committee was
