INTERNATIONAL VETERINARY SURGEONS. 
f. Conclusion of the work of the drawing-up of a common 
nomenclature in veterinary medicine ; 
g. Official veterinarisme. 
According to a careful estimate which has been laid before 
the government of Baden the costs will be about 28,000 marks. 
The anatomical section alone will require 2500 m.arks and all 
official notices and the reports of the transactions will appear in 
the three official languages. 
In view of these facts the subscription has been fixed at 12 
marks (#3.) 
Those gentlemen who have become members and paid the 
subscription will receive copies of all publications, even if they 
are unable to be present at the Congress. 
In order to interest as many as possible in the Congress the 
committee has resolved to suggest the formation of sub-com¬ 
mittees in all countries. 
The first business of these sub-committees would be to call 
the attention of veterinary surgeons, agriculturists and breeders 
to the Congress, to induce as many as possible to become mem¬ 
bers and to collect their subscriptions. The sub-committees, 
after defraying expenses, should forward the balance of collected 
monies not later than January 2, 1899) Rheinische 
Creditbank ” in Baden-Baden. The bank will then book the 
receipts and payments of the Congress and furnish an account 
of the same. 
It is important that the business committee should know by 
December i, 1898, how many gentlemen from each countrv are 
likely to take part in the Congress. 
\Ve should be much gratified if you would give us vour 
opinion as to formation of a sub-committee for America and 
especially if you would give us the names of those who should 
be asked to take part in it. Should you consider the formation 
of a sub-committee impracticable or unadvisable, perhaps you 
would kindly suggest some other means of attracting a large 
attendance of your countrymen at the Congress, as perhaps 
through the mediation of the various veterinary and agricul¬ 
tural societies. We will also gladly give attention to any sug¬ 
gestion in reference to the business programme of the Congress 
which you may wish to make. Finally we should be greatly 
obliged if you could obtain the support of the veterinary and 
other papers interested for the Congress. 
The definite programme of the Congress will be forwarded 
to you in good time.
