Proceedings of the eighth scientific meeting. The second 

 meeting of the Association for the academic year 1912-13 was held 

 at the Columbia Medical School, on Friday, Dec. 6, at 4.15 p. m., 

 instead of the regulär weekly departmental seminar. At Dr. Gies' 

 Suggestion the Association began, with this meeting, a series of 

 quarterly sessions for the presentation of the results of research 

 by its members. As presiding officer at the seminars, Dr. Gies out- 

 lined the plan and purpose of these scientific sessions and formally 

 turned over the meeting to the Association. President Eddy then 

 took the chair. The scientific program and abstracts of the papers 

 are given on page 284. 



The remaining meetings of this series, for the year I9i2-'i3, 

 will be held on February 7, April 4 and June 2. Abstracts of the 

 Communications will be published in the succeeding issues of the 

 BiocHEMicAL Bulletin,
