VETERINARY MEDICAE ASSOCIATION OF NEW 
YORK COUNTY. 
The regular monthly meeting was called to order at 8.45 
p. M., Wednesday, October 5th, in room 37, New York Academy 
of Medicine, by President Robertson. The roll-call met with 
few responses, owing to the very uncertain condition of the 
weather in the evening, and many of the members having been 
exposed to the same condition of the elements during the after¬ 
noon. The following, however, were present: Drs. Robertson, 
Hanson, Gill, MacKellar and Ellis. 
The minutes of the June meeting were called for by the 
President, and were read and approved. There were no com¬ 
mittee reports ready, so the President passed to the next order 
of business, and called for papers. No essayist having been 
appointed for this meeting. President Robertson took the initia¬ 
tive in “case reports” by describing a very interesting case of 
“ keraphyllocele ” with which he had been dealing. A very 
interesting little discussion followed, and finally drifted into a 
general discussion on general topics. Under the head of “new 
business ” the question of the U. S. V. M. A. coming to this 
city was brought up, but President Robertson thought it better 
to delay its discussion until a fuller meeting. 
At ten o’clock it was regularly moved and seconded that the 
meeting adjourn, which was carried by vote.
