Believing that a properly constructed and well arranged pan¬ 
nier would be of great service for Cavalry use, the Board will, if 
the Suppiy Table is approved, supervise the construction of a 
sample to guide the makers in getting them up. This can be done 
at the Cavalry Depot with the skill and material at hand. The 
accompanying form for Monthly Veterinary Reports is respect¬ 
fully submitted.

II. At the headquarters, depots, or larger posts of Cavalry 
regiments, the standard supplies of instruments and medicines will 
be under the charge of the Quartermaster, to be issued by him to 
the smaller commands of the regiment in such quantities and of 
such articles as may be deemed requisite, conformably to the al¬ 
lowance fixed by the Standard Supply Table. 
III. Hereafter appointments as Veterinary Surgeons will be 
confined to the graduates of established and reputable Veterin¬ 
ary Schools or Colleges. They will be appointed by the Secretary 
of War, in numbers not to exceed the legal establishment, and 
only on recommendation from the Commanding Officer of the 
Regiment, supported by the requisite proofs of learning and skill, 
and by approval of intermediate commanders.

Surgeons will be made under the direction of the Commanding 
Generals of Departments and Divisions.
