Laboratory work of Albany Medical College, Bureau of Animal 
Industry. 
I would like to call your attention to one thing which was 
omitted but which can now be done by unanimous vote, and that 
was the action of the Association electing to honorary member¬ 
ship the candidates recommended by the Comitia Minora. I 
would therefore move that the recommendations made by the 
Comitia Minora as to the names presented for honorary member¬ 
ship in this Association be approved and that they be duly 
elected. Seconded. On the ballot being cast, the following named 
parties were declared duly elected to honorary membership in the 
Association: Prof. J. H. Raymond, Brooklyn, N. Y ; Prof. II. 
M. Biggs, New York City, N. Y. 
Secretary Hoskins: Inasmuch as we have lost a great deal of 
time this morning by reason of the failure of the Comitia Minora 
to get to work at the appointed time, I move you that the discus¬ 
sion of the reports be postponed until to-morrow morning, and 
that we now proceed to the election of officers. 
Dr. Atkinson: It seems to me a good many members have 
come to Chicago to attend the Veterinary Association meeting 
alone. . I think much valuable time might be utilized this evening, 
especially as there is much room for discussion invited in these 
papers. Therefore I offer as an amendment, that we adjourn un¬ 
til eight o’clock. Seconded. 
Secretary Hoskins: We have not arranged for this room to¬ 
night, having decided not to hold an evening session. 
Dr. Atkinson: I withdraw my motion. 
Dr. Williams : We can obtain ample accommodations, without 
cost, at the Palmer House, if we wish to hold an evening session. 
Dr. Atkinson : In view of that statement, I renew my motion, 
that we adjourn to meet at eight o’clock to-night in the Palmer 
House. 
Seconded by Dr. Butler. 
Dr. Williams: I made the suggestion a moment ago, as the 
manager of the Palmer House had said that he regretted we did 
not hold our meeting there, as he would cheerfully furnish us a 
•room sufficient for our purpose without cost.
