Communications were then read from different members of the 
Association who were unable to attend. A letter was then read by 
Dr. Liautard from the President of the International Veterinary 
Congress, to be held this fall, in Brussels, praying that a delegate 
be sent to the congress from this Association. Prof. Liautard was 
appointed to act as said delegate. Dr. Liautard thanked the As¬ 
sociation for this high honor, but begged for a short time in which 
to consider the matter, his acceptance or rejection to be placed in 
the hands of the Comitia Minora, which committee was delegated 
power to act for the Association. 
“ Papers and Discussion ” being the next order of business— 
the first subject for discussion was spinal meningitis. This 
proved a very interesting topic—and opinions as to dtiuse and 
treatment were expressed by most every one present. 
President Williamson Bryden then reported a case of what he 
designated canker of the coronet, a case of about two years stand¬ 
ing—the discharge being characterized by an extremely pungent 
foetid odor. This animal does daily work in the yards of a 
chemical establishment. Dr. Bryden further reported an in¬ 
stance of atrophy of the muscles of the right dorsal region as the 
result of the horse becoming cast. 
Heredity came in for a free and spirited discussion. 
Dr. Stickuey then presented some very fine specimens of dis¬ 
eased bones of an aged pony. The question here was as to the 
exact nature of the disease. (This case deserves more mention 
than space at this time will permit, and we shall give the details 
in an early number of the Review). 
Somewhat similar cases of disease of bones were reported by 
Drs. Bryden, Miller, and Peabody.
