Medical Society of Victoria. 
The monthly meeting of the Medical Society of Victoria was held in 
the hall, Albert Street, on Wednesday evening, the 2nd ultimo. The 
President, Dr. Moloney, occupied the chair. The following new members 
were elected : — Drs. Mollison, Lempriere, jun., Porter, Colin M‘Farlane, 
Sutherland, Hooper, and J. F. Malcolmson, One gentleman was nomi- 
nated for election at the next monthly meeting. On the motion of the 
President it was resolved “ that the Medical Society of Victoria do place 
on record its sorrow at the decease of Dr. Richard Malcolmson, an old 
and highly respected member, and do offer its deepest sympathy to his 
family.” Dr. F. J. Owen read a paper on a case of poisoning by “extract 
of eucalyptus,” the so-called extract being apparently the volatile oil of the 
eucalyptus globules. A letter from Baron von Mueller in reference to this 
paper was read by the Secretary, and several members spoke concerning 
the uses of preparations of eucalyptus, and the poisonous effects produced 
by large doses of the oil. Numerous pathological specimens were exhibited 
by Dr. Williams, Mr. Webb, and Professor Allen.
