OBITUARY. 
We have to record the death of Mr. Charles Pilgrim, M.R.C.V.S., 
Brooklyn, New York, in the 49th year of his age. Mr. Pilgrim’s 
diploma bears date July 5th, 1843. 
Death of Professor Defays. —The death is announced in the 
Annales de Medecine Veterinaire , of Brussels, of F. J. Defays, 
Professor of Clinic at the Belgian Royal Veterinary School, and 
Member of the Royal Academy of Medicine of Belgium, of the 
Royal Medical and Natural Sciences Society of Brussels, and other 
learned bodies. The professional career of M. Defays was highly 
distinguished, and as a citizen he appears to have been held in the 
highest esteem for his devotion to the solution of important public 
questions, and the benefits he conferred on the community of his 
native town ; but his services to medical science, human and com¬ 
parative, will always obtain for his memory the highest degree of 
respect. He was one of the founders and editors of the Art 
Medical , a monthly medical journal, to which he contributed valu¬ 
able and interesting communications for nearly every number; he 
was also a co-editor of and contributor to the Annales Beige de 
Medecine Veterinaire , and he assisted in drawing up the annual 
report of the Agricultural Commission, of which he was a member, 
and for which he every year, since 1864, furnished a resume of the 
quarterly reports of the Government Veterinary Surgeons. He was 
the inventor of several ingenious instruments and mechanical appli¬ 
ances, especially those for the correction of deformed or defective 
limbs and feet. A description of the latter he published in a little 
work on “ Pathological Farriery.” He rendered most important 
services to his country during the prevalence of the cattle plague, 
from 1865 to 1867, and largely contributed to the extinction of that
