the difficult task before us—for though we are acquainted with a 
great many, we know well how many obstacles would lie in the 
way of our obtaining the names of all, or even of nearly all those 
that are graduated. To try to avoid what some might consider 
as a personal objection and to do justice to all as much as we 
could, we first took what was considered the best way, and di¬ 
rected ourselves to the principals of the veterinary colleges that 
we knew of in North America, and thanks to this, we have been 
able, including this issue, to present the names of the alumni of 
of three veterinary institutions. If we should stop here, no doubt 
our register would be very incomplete, and we hope our readers will 
kindly combine to assist us. Agricultural schools to which vet¬ 
erinary departments are attached, like Cornell, like Amherst 
and others; medical colleges or universities, like Pennsylvania 
and Harvard, would do us a great favor and assist us in doing 
justice to their alumni by sending us the names which they 
know ought to be published. But not only that, every individual 
practitioner must feel in duty bound to send us the names and 
titles of those whom they may know to be holders, of diplomas, 
especially if the possessor has obtained his degree from a foreign 
school. It is not only American graduates that we propose to 
publish, but as fully as we can veterinarians practicing in the 
United States. We need not say that our thanks are hereby 
sincerely tendered to all those who may see fit to help us in our 
work. All of us are interested in it.
