    Appendix, No. 3. Opinion. W e are of opinion that a registered practitioner, who desires to have a higher degree or additional qualification obtained by him inserted in the Register, must apply to the Registrar of one of the Branch Councils for that purpose ; and that the provisions of Section 25 of the Medical Act as to registration apply to the entering in the Register of such higher degrees or additional qualifications. But we are of opinion that such application, and the consequent entry in the Local Register, need not be made to or by the Registrar of the particular branch, in the Local Register of which the original qualification of the applicant was first entered, but may be made to and by any one of the Local Registrars. Thus a practitioner whose name was originally entered in the Irish Local Register may, in our opinion, apply to the Registrar for England for the purpose of having an additional or substituted qualification inserted in the Register, and such qualification may thereupon be entered in the Local Register for England, and be thence copied into the General Register; and conversely a person whose name was originally entered in the English Local Register may obtain the insertion of a subsequent qualification by application to the Irish Local Registrar.
