A number of prosecutions under the Amended Pharmacy Act 1885 are 
now pending, some of "which will he of unusual interest to pharmacists. 
A translation of the Pharmacopoeia of the Royal College of Physicians 
of London, 1836, has been presented to the Library by Mr. C. R. Blackett. 
The Pharmaceutical Journal and the British and Colonial Druggist reprint

Eucalyptus.* ’ 
The action against Messrs. Morgan Bros., for infringement of the copyright

Mr. Tompsitt’s motion that all the examination papers used at the examinations

The botany students at the College of Pharmacy, with the lecturer, Mr.

enjoyed an instructive and entertaining morning’s work. 
Mr. Alfred H. Jackson, the newly-appointed director and lecturer at the 
College of Pharmacy, Melbourne, left London in the R.M.S. Tasmania on the 
22nd April, and may be expected to arrive about the 1st June. 
We are requested to correct a mistake in the name of one of the newly - 
elected members, whose name appeared in our last issue as Mr. B. Pincline, 
Temora, New South Wales, whereas it should be Mr. B. Pinchin. 
We are glad to learn that the proposed Intercolonial Pharmaceutical 
Conference, to be held in Melbourne on the 27th, 28th, and 29th of October

A meeting of medical men practising in the Ballarat district was held at 
Craig’s Hotel on Tuesday, the 10th May, Dr. W. P. Whitcombe in the chair. 
It was resolved to form a medical association, and Drs. Whitcombe, J. 
Woinarski, W. Morrison, and J. M‘Conochie were appointed a committee to draw 
up rules. 
We notice that a number of articles and reports of meetings, &c., have 
recently been abstracted from this journal without the slightest acknowledgment 
of the source from which they have been obtained. If this state of things is 
continued we shall be under the necessity of adopting the Parliamentary usage 
of “ naming the offender.” 
It is exceedingly satisfactory to find that the Pharmacy Board of Queens- 
land are doing all in their power to carry out the Pharmacy Act in a 
thorough manner. They have adopted almost intact the regulations to the 
Pharmacy Act of Victoria, which will go a long way in settling the question 
•of reciprocity of certificates.
