D.Y.I5., Edgar P. Wing, D.Y.S., Hubert E. Foote, D.V.S., 
Tlios. C. Cowhey, D.Y.S., and Geo. H. Bailey, D.Y.S. On 
account of some little irregularity in the application for member¬ 
ship, the names of Robt. Simmon and E. P. Smithers were laid 
over until the next meeting. The names of Tlios. Blackwood, 
W. II. Lillyman and Clias. K. Wood were proposed by members 
present. Their credentials will be placed before the Board of 
Censors at the next regular meeting. 
A Library Committee, Committee on Intelligence and Educa¬ 
tion, on Diseases, Finance, and Prizes were then appointed by 
the chair. The “ Resolution Committee,” that was appointed at 
the last annual meeting to petition Congress in relation to con¬ 
tagious diseases, reported progress. 
Dr. Liautard then stated the condition of the American Yet- 
erinary Review, which is very flattering. Its circulation is in¬ 
creasing. it is not only free from debt, but has a small amount of 
funds to its credit. The propriety of paying small sums (not to 
exceed twenty-live dollars) for original contributions to its col¬ 
umns was left to the discretion of the editor and his associates. 
Dr. Peabody then read a paper on “ Chloral Hydrate as an 
Anaesthetic in Operations.” The essay was well discussed and 
ordered to be printed in the Review. The Association unani¬ 
mously extended to the essayist a vote of thanks. Reports of 
cases, with a general discussion on embolisms, soundness and 
spavin followed. 
Ample justice being done to the sumptuous dinner, for which 
our Boston friends are famous, the Association adjourned one of 
its most pleasant and profitable meetings.
