THE AUSTRALASIAN JOURNAL OF PHARMACY. 
A necessarily immediate business was the election of office-bearers, and 
this, which took place at the close of the general meeting, named Mr. F. Cooper 
as president, Mr. Joseph Bosisto as vice-president, Mr. Croad as treasurer, and 
Mr. Williams as hon. secretary. The latter gentleman soon afterwards retired 
in favour of Mr. Joseph Lewis. At the same meeting, Mr. Thomas (Geelong) 
brought under the notice of the council the necessity for securing legislative 
enactment for the protection of the society, and Mr. Archer (Geelong) sup- 
ported this by submitting a bill which he had prepared with that view. 
Little time was lost in providing a vehicle for the publication of the 
society’s proceedings, and for disseminating information valuable to the profession, 
the Quarterly Journal and Transactions making its appearance on 1st January, 
1858. This, the first authorised organ of the society, is a most creditable 
production. The first four numbers were edited by Messrs. Joseph Bosisto 
and William Johnson, and were of varied and interesting contents. Inter alia , 
the list of the founders of the society is therein set out in full. Apropos 
of this, we desire to say that in enumerating the names of members enrolled at 
the inaugural meeeting in our last issue we merely proceeded chronologically 
with the records before us, and did others of the pioneers no injustice by not 
including their names in that list. 
We have the pleasure to now give a complete roll of the Founders : — 
President, Mr. Frederick Cooper; vice-president, Mr. Jos. Bosisto. 
Treasurer, Mr. S. J. T. Croad ; secretary, Mr. Joseph Lewis.
