THE INTERCOLONIAL PHARMACEUTICAL CONFERENCE. 
It was unanimously resolved that the president, Mr. C. E. Blackett, and 
Mr. Henry Brind, Ballarat, be appointed to represent the Pharmacy Board of 
Victoria at the forthcoming Conference, it being understood that voting power 
should be regulated by the number of representatives from the other colonies. 
NAMES ERASED FROM THE PHARMACEUTICAL REGISTER OF VICTORIA. 
The names of the following deceased persons were ordered to be erased: — 
Thos. Hopper, Carngham. 
William Rawle, Hawthorn. 
Frank Eussell Fullarton, Melbourne. 
)THE QUARTERLY EXAMINATIONS. 
The examiners submitted to the Board the questions for the September 
examinations, which were ordered to be printed. 
A communication was received from the Pharmaceutical Society in reference 
to the alteration of the term for holding lectures, the proposal being that there be 
two courses of five months in each year instead of, as at present, one session, 
extending from March to November. 
The proposals (which were printed in full in the July issue of this Journal) 
were, after some discussion, agreed to, and it was suggested that the Council be 
requested to ask the Schools of Mines of Ballarat and Sandhurst to adopt the 
same term. 
Correspondence and financial business closed the meeting. 
THE PHARMACEUTICAL SOCIETY OF AUSTRALASIA. 
The monthly meeting of the Council was held at the College of Pharmacy,

NEW MEMBERS. 
The nomination of eleven new members was received, and they will be 
balloted for at the next meeting, 
THE INTERCOLONIAL PHARMACEUTICAL CONFERENCE. 
Since the report presented to the meeting on the 9th ult., replies have been 
received from all the colonies, most of whom will be represented. 
New South Wales has elected two representatives, New Zealand two, South 
Australia one (and it is hoped that a second may attend), Tasmania two (one 
from Hobart and one from Launceston), Queensland has not yet sent any decided 
answer, Western Australia and Fiji will not be represented, and Victoria has 
nominated two delegates. 
The circular embracing the whole of the subjects to be submitted to the 
Oonference is now in the course of preparation, and will be forwarded to the 
various Pharmaceutical Societies and Boards in the colonies, in order that the 
matter may be thoroughly discussed with the delegates before their departure. 
The president of the Conference is to be elected from amongst the delegates 
at the first meeting, and the voting power of every colony will be equal. A 
ceremonial committee has been appointed. The report of the committee concludes 
by hoping that the importance of the Conference will commend itself to all 
who are interested in the welfare and advancement of pharmacy in the Austral- 
asian colonies.
