68 : DENTAL LAWS CONDENSED.
"It is also learned v/ith reference to reciprocal acceptance of
diplomas (see par, lo of Regulations) that at present there is no
State of the United States of America which is thought to accept
British diplomas.
"From the Laws and Regulations, it will be seen that unless
a dentist has British qualifications, or has been registered in the
United Kingdom, it is impossible for him to secure a license to
practise in Cape Colony."

Instructions to Dental Applicants for Registration in
Cape Colony.
The procedure in the case of dental practitioners, desirous of
obtaining a license under Section i8 of the Medical and Pharmacy
Act, 1 89 1, to practise in Cape Colony, may be briefly summarized
as follows
I.—A written application for registration and license to prac-
tise should be addressed to the secretary. Colonial Medical Coun-
cil, Colonial Secretary's Office, Cape Town.
2.—With this letter should be forwarded the original diplo-
mas or certificates held by the applicant, a sworn declaration of
identity in terms of No. 9 of the regulation following, and a post
office order for the sum of tw^o pounds, ten shillings ($12.16)
which is the license duty, payable for admission to practise as a
dental practitioner. The letter should also state for registration
purposes the place, if known, at which the applicant proposes to
practise.
3.—The application with inclosures, if in order, is laid before
the Colonial Medical Council or the Executive Committee thereof,
at the" first meeting after receipt for consideration. If approved,
a letter is addressed by the Council to the Colonial Secretary in
terms of Section 18 of the Medical and Pharmacy Act, 1891, (qv.),
recommending that the applicant be registered and a license
issued to him.
4.—The Colonial Secretary then issues a license, and for-
wards it to the applicant, together with the diplomas or certifi-
cates submitted. The name of the applicant is at the same time
registered in the register kept in the Colonial Secretary's office in
terms of Section 36 of the Act, and a notice of license is published
in the Government Gazette. Until the license in question has
been signed by the Colonial Secretary, the applicant is not en-
titled to practise.
