RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS. 
865 
A proposition signed by twenty members, to proceed to the 
nominal call for the fourth resolutions and its amendments was 
here presented to the bureau. 
A proposal of Messrs. Lydtin and Wirtz, toerase the fourth 
resolution, was put to vote and carried. From this vote the 
amendments of Messrs. Berdez, Leblanc and Wehenkel were 
dropped, as well as that asking for the nominal call, which had 
thus became useless. Dr. Wirtz here read a dispatch from the 
Veterinary Institute of Dorpat, sending their compliments to the 
members of the Congress. 
A letter of Mr. Hughes, asking the postponement of the dis 
cussion of the subject on education, was read. 
The meeting adjourned at five o’clock. 
THIRD DAY OF MEETING. 
Dr. Wirtz, Vice-President, in the chair. 
The minutes of the last meeting are read, and after a correc¬ 
tion asked for by Dr. Willems, were accepted. 
Mr. Lydtin remarked that Mr. Locustiano had said that conta¬ 
gious pleuro-pneumonia does not exist in Roumania, and on that 
account he does not believe in its spontaneous development 
theory. 
The minutes of the previous day having been read, Mr. Berdez 
said that he desired that mention should be made of the question 
put by twenty members, asking for the nominal call of the de¬ 
cision. The President remarked that the motion had dropped, 
because of the disposition made of the fourth article, but that 
it should nevertheless appear on the records. The definitive 
adoption of the minutes was postponed to the following day, until 
the German text should be received. 
An invitation was extended by Mr. Hardy to the members of 
the Congress to visit the barracks and hospitals of the regiment 
of Guides. 
The President then proposed to proceed to the question of 
prophylaxy, taking up the articles singly, without entering upon 
a general discussion of the subject, with a view to shorten the 
debate.
