THE INTERCOLONIAL PHARMACEUTICAL CONFERENCE. 
The committee submitted their report, which stated that a number of replies 
had been received in response to the preliminary circular issued in May last. 
In New Zealand the time had been too short to allow of replies coming to hand 
from the various centres. From South Australia and Tasmania favourable 
answers were sent, although in South Australia the names of the delegates 
could not be furnished. Some additions to the programme have been received 
from Queensland, who have stated their intention of being represented, but in 
consequence of the unfortunate illness of Mr. Frank Taylor, of Brisbane, the full 
details have not yet been furnished. From New South Wales Mr. Larmer, the 
president of the Pharmaceutical Society, writes that in consequence of the 
pressure of business the matter has not been dealt with, but that it would be 
submitted at the next meeting of the Council. 
The report was received, and it was resolved to extend the time for receiving 
replies to the 31st July next.
