CIATION. 
The thirty-fourth quarterly (annual) meeting of the above 
Association was held in the Medical Hall, Hope Street, on Friday 
evening, the 8th November, 1872. 
After tea the chair was taken by the President, James Storrar, 
Esq. There were also present Messrs. Morgan, Reynolds, Kenny,

Mr. Reynolds proposed that Messrs. G. Fleming, Royal En¬ 
gineers, and T. D. Broad, of Bath, be elected honorary associates, 
on the grounds stated in Clause 1st, in Rule XIII of the 
Association. 
The proposal was seconded by Mr. Heyes. Each was sepa¬ 
rately and unanimously elected. 
Letters of apology were read from Messrs. W. Carless, A. 
Cartwright, E. Nuttall, James Lowe, and Professor Walley. The 
latter enclosed particulars of a case of lameness affecting the 
muscles of the thigh, the leading symptoms of which were 
atrophy of the vasti, rectus , and tensor vagina muscles, giving 
rise to unusual prominence of the patella, helpless flexion of the 
limb, and excessive drooping of the quarters, adding to the diffi¬ 
culty of forming a correct diagnosis. Professor Walley had pre¬ 
viously seen similar cases. The first of these cases was diagnosed 
by several veterinary surgeons to be one of fractured tibia. 
Proposed and seconded by Messrs. Storrar and Woods, “ That a 
vote of thanks be forwarded to Professor Walley for his inte¬ 
resting communication A 
The Treasurer’s and Secretary’s reports w r ere read. The Pre¬ 
sident also read a short address; after which 
Mr. Morgan proposed a vote of thanks to the retiring officers 
for their past services, which was seconded by Mr. Heyes , and 
carried with acclamation. 
The office-bearers having briefly returned thanks, the following 
gentlemen were unanimously elected for the ensuing year: 
Mr. R. S. Reynolds, President; Messrs. Storrar, Welsby, and 
Elam, Vice-Presidents; Mr. Woods was re-elected Treasurer;
