that before a student could enter that college he must have 
obtained the diploma of graduate in letters of the university. 
This measure for the elevation of veterinary instruction was 
due to the initiative of Professor Landberg, and instead of 
diminishing the number of students as some had predicted, 
it led to an increase. While requiring from candidates for 
admission to this school an amount of preparatory know¬ 
ledge not demanded by any other veterinary school in 
Europe, the Swedish Government has taken care to protect 
the interests of its graduates and increase their income; the 
consequence is, that the number of graduates has corre¬ 
spondingly augmented in quantity and quality. The candi¬ 
date, twenty or twenty-one years of age, being a graduate in 
letters is received into the veterinary school, and there 
he has to study for four, or even six years for backward 
scholars. The school has four professors, each with an 
annual salary of about £230; a lecturer, with a salary of 
£168; an assistant or adjoint, and a teacher of farriery. 
Two of the professors, the assistant, and the farriery instructor, 
reside in the college ; the others have a yearly lodging 
allowance of £28. The course of teaching at present is as 
follows : 
Anatomy, physiology, zoology, and pathological anatomy. 
—-Professor Kinnberg. 
Zootechny, sanitary science and police, and the ambulatory 
clinic.—Professor Morell. 
Surgery, obstetrics, farriery, and clinical surgery.—Pro¬ 
fessor Sjostedt. 
Pathology, therapeutics, epizootics, pharmacodynamics, 
pharmaeotechny, and special clinic.—Professor Lindquist. 
Botany, physics, chemistry, pharmacology, and pharmacy. 
—Lecturer Ericsson. 
The assistant aids in the clinic, and the other official 
instructs in farriery. 
In Sweden there are thirty government veterinary sur¬

sub-lieutenant who receives annually £112. Regiments of 
the line have regimental and squadron veterinary surgeons, 
the latter having the grade of non-commissioned officer and 
yearly pay of £56. The number of civil and military vete¬ 
rinary surgeons under government is 170, and all, so far as 
their scientific duties are concerned, are under the direction 
of the medical authorities, In 1860 a credit of 700^000 francs
