and was believed to have calved in the scrub; but as no calf 
was found, the cow was brought home and milked for two or 
three months, when as she was getting dry, she was fatted and 
killed about four months after her supposed calving, and on 
opening her a full-grown dead foetus was found in the womb. 
All the soft parts were in a state of decomposition, many of 
the bones being laid bare, the hair easily rubbing off the skin 
with the finger’s touch. The time for her calving having fully 
expired, and indications of it having taken place being ob¬ 
served, it was supposed that she must have left her calf dead

NOTE FROM MR. MOORE, M.R.C.V.S. 
11, Upper Berkeley Street, Portman Square 
Nov. im , 1879. 
Sirs, —Will you kindly afford me space in your pages to 
correct a slight error in your last number ? In the comments 
at the foot of the Report of the Meeting of Veterinary 
Surgeons held at Freemasons’ Tavern on October 1st you 
say it was inserted by my “ special request.” 
I think my letter to you cannot be so construed; indeed, 
I would not be so rude as to imagine that an independent 
journal like the Veterinarian required a “ special request ” 
to insert an article so interesting to the profession as the 
report referred to.—I am, sir, your obedient servant. 
[Unfortunately we have not preserved Mr. Moore’s letter, 
and cannot, therefore, quote the exact words he used in asking 
for the report to be published. The terms employed were, 
however, so precise that we considered that they conveyed 
nothing short of a special request that the report might 
appear in the pages of our journal.— Eds.] 
To the Editors of the Veterinarian. 
LETTER FROM A REJECTED STUDENT.

made with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons and 
the Highland and Agricultural Society, by which the holders 
of the Society's veterinary certificate are to be admitted mem¬ 
bers of the Royal College on the payment of certain fees.
