ine of which, I was sorry to see, were American. The hospital 
[ >r dogs was then visited, and which I fonnd very complete, even 
i a strong cell for suspected hydrophobia cases, having double 
on doors, at the side of which was a ring attached to a chain 
issing through the side and fastened to the collar of a poor little 
3 vil‘of a dog that had no more rabies than I had, an opinion I 
^pressed at the time. The general lecture room was then seen, 
id which struck me as being quite small, and I wondered where 
ley put the three hundred students they are said to have there 
times. One part of the building that impressed me the most 
as that provided for cattle, sheep, &c., a point that I at once 
weeded was ahead of anything that I had seen here. The 
useum certainly did not well bear the dignity of its royal call- 
ig, but no doubt was due, as I remarked at the time, to a lack of 
>ace to properly display its contents. 
I here ought to say that this is what is generally termed the 
eterinary School, and that really the Royal College of Veterin- 
|'7 Surgeons is situated in Red Lion Square, a new building, 
iving much the appearance of a large plain private residence, 
id it is here where the examinations are ludd. I called there, 
it found there was little to be seen—the Secretary’s office, a li- 
1 :ary with a fair collection of veterinary works, a large board 
>om, in which the most conspicuous thing was a life-size oil 
minting of Prof. George Fleming, which was about all I could 
ad to see. I find I am diverting entirely from my subject, and 
could continue to do so till I gave you an idea that T had a de- 
re to monopolize the whole of the Review by giving you my 
mgh description of the Pasteur Institute in Paris, the Royal 
ollege of Surgeons, where through the kindness of Dr. Fleming 
was allowed to spend considerable time seeing some of the most 
Bautiful dissections it is possible to see, but I will let that go, and 
y to get down to the subject I wish to speak about. On my re- 
irn to Prof. Ax’s office I was asked, as an opening point for dis- 
ission, if I was not a graduate of Prof. Liautard’s school. I 
tid I was a graduate of the American Veterinary College, of 
hich Prof. Liautard was simply one of the faculty. “ But,” he 
lid, “ it is like all such institutions in America, a private school.”
