prior to the Annual General Meeting, held on the first Mon¬ 
day in the month of May, the Secretary shall prepare a list 
stating the names and residences of the persons proposed, and 
also of the members of Council who remain in office, as well 
as those who retire by rotation,” &c. 
Mr. Goicing said that at the last meeting he heard the 
Secretary call out once or twice for names to be given in, 
although the balloting papers were distributed and being 
filled up. This was not fair to the new candidates. 
The Secretary said there was another by-law to the effect 
that “ Such members of the College as may be desirous of 
having the names of any persons they may propose as mem¬ 
bers of the Council included in the list, must give notice 
thereof in writing to the Secretary on or before the 14th 
April; but any member may be proposed at the Annual 
Meeting, notwithstanding his name may not be on such 
list.” 
Mr. Silvester thought there was plenty of opportunity for 
any gentleman to put the name of any person lie wished to 
vote for in the balloting paper. 
The Chairman said there was no power to alter the 
arrangements under the existing by-laws. 
Mr. Silvester reported that the Dinner Committee had been 
unable to find accommodation at the Albion, and therefore 
they had arranged to have the Annual Dinner at the London 
Tavern. He suggested that the President should announce 
this fact early at the Annual Meeting, so that there might 
be no misapprehension. 
The Secretary said he would have the announcement 
altered in the Veterinarian. 
(The proceedings then terminated.)
