for the honor conferred, and pledged himself to work zealously 
in the interests of the Association. 
On motion of Dr. L. McLean, it was resolved that after the 
present year the annual dues to the society should be $2.00, 
the initiation fee remaining the same as heretofore— i.e., $5.00. 
On motion, the names of all those whose initiation fees had 
not been paid were dropped from the roll. 
Sections 2 and 3 of Article 8 were referred to the Committee 
on Intelligence and Education, with directions to report at the 
March meeting.

lan, V.S., were added to the list of applicants for membership. 
Drs. J. E. McNicol, L. McLean and Robertson were ap¬ 
pointed a committee to draft a preamble and resolutions expres¬ 
sive of the society’s deep sorrow at the death of President James 
A. Garfield. 
The paper presented to the meeting by Dr. Holcombe on 
army veterinary medicine, etc., was ordered printed in the Re¬ 
view, and that the committee to whom it was referred report 
what further action it may be deemed best to be taken at our 
next meeting. 
Dr. Lyman detailed the post-mortem appearances of the so- 
called Nova Scotia cattle disease. It is to be hoped that at some 
future time the society may be favored with a paper on the sub¬ 
ject by Dr. Thayer or Prof. McEachran—both of these gentle¬ 
men having investigated the matter. 
The time for adjournment having arrived, most of the mem¬ 
bers and their guests repaired to the annual dinner at Del- 
monico’s. C. B. Michener, Secretary.
