the ranks of the veterinary profession. We must be allowed to 
remind him of the Blissville affair, occurring some years ago, and 
of the Brooklyn cases which transpired recently. The fact that 
there are veterinarians who deny the existence of contagious 
pleuro-pneumonia in the East, in the very center of its bed 
growth, and who will, in all probability, succeed in impressing their 
views widely at the West, will, we fear, become the source of 
not a little annoyance to him, and may become the source of a 
serious and active opposition which may be brought to bear upon 
his efforts to stamp out the disease in the West. 
OUR REGISTER OF REGULAR GRADUATES. 
Our recent call to veterinarians and to our readers to second 
our efforts to obtain the proper material for the construction of a 
register of the regular graduates of veterinary medicine in this 
country has elicited many replies, expressing approval of the ob¬ 
ject proposed, and accompanied by many names which might 
otherwise have been difficult to obtain. The result is that we 
have been able to present to our readers and the public the names 
of a large number of veterinarians holding their diplomas from 
the veterinary schools of the United States and of Canada. Iu 
our present number we give the concluding portion of the cata¬ 
logue, being lists of the Alumni of the New York College of 
Surgeons previous to 1875, and of Cornell University, with the 
names of graduates of European schools as far as we have been 
able to collect them. 
While we feel confident that our list of American graduates 
is as complete and correct as it is now possible to make it, we 
fear that those of the veterinarians of European schools is by no 
means perfect, and as we feel bound to render them equal justice 
with the others, we take this last opportunity to call upon our 
friends to furnish us with the names of all persons who may be 
known by them to possess a right to a place in the register. The 
names, places, and if possible the years of graduation, are the facts 
we need to enable us to complete our list. 
Proper corrections will be made of any omissions or inaccura¬ 
cies discovered and indicated to us.
