ITALIAN VETERINARY CONGRESS. 
As announced by circulars and notices, the Italian Veterinary 
Congress assembled in the city of Bologne on the 7th of Septem¬ 
ber and continued in session until the 10th—four days. 
It proved a perfect success. A large number of the members 
of the profession gathered in the large amphitheatre reserved for 
that purpose, and nearly three hundred veterinarians were col¬ 
lected together from the different parts of Italy, besides nume¬ 
rous specially appointed officers, representing different branches 
of the Government. 
Under the presidency of Prof. Lanzilloti Buonsanti, the affair 
passed off in the most satisfactory manner, and concluded with a 
magnificent supper, at which nearly one hundred members sat 
together and congratulated each other upon the success of their 
work. 
The officers of the Congress were: President—Prof. Lanzil- 
lotti Buonsanti, of the Milan Veterinary School; Vice President 
—Prof. Generali, Director of the Modena Veterinary School; 
Secretary—Prof. Tampellini, of the Modena School; Vice Sec¬ 
retary—Dr. Azzali. 
During the two sessions of each of the four days of the Con¬ 
gress, and according to previous arrangements, numerous ques¬ 
tions of importance relating to Veterinary Education, Veterinary 
Practice, Sanitary Medicine and Jurisprudence, were discussed. 
Amongst them we noticed the following, which, like many others, 
were passed unanimously: Upon the admission of students in 
the veterinary schools; Upon the necessity of preventing, in the 
interest of the public, the practice of veterinary medicine by un¬ 
qualified persons; Upon the best manner of rendering the edu¬ 
cation in veterinary schools more practical; Upon the necessity 
of special instruction for the inspectors of meat in slaughter hou¬ 
ses, and a relative microscopic examination; Upon the organiza¬ 
tion of a veterinary inspection of slaughter houses in large cities, 
and upon the best mode of organizing the inspection of markets
