THE AUSTRALASIAN JOURNAL OF PHARMACY. 
It was the inability to separate the Pharmaceutical Society from the Pharmacy 
Board. The latter was a legislative body, and had only to do with that part of 
the examination in Practical Pharmacy. 
Mr. Blackett promised to make a note of a query from Mr. Mayne as to 
the provisional registration by Victoria of the other colonies* certificates. 
The motion was put and carried nem. con. 
The Examination Papers. 
Mr. Pond moved, and Mr. Bozon seconded — 
“That it be a request to the Registrars of the Australasian Pharmacy 
Boards or Councils to forward copies of their examination papers to each 
Board.’* 
Mr. Shillinglaw — As far as this colony is concerned it has been done for years. 
Mr. Mayne — They always have been sent from New South Wales to 
Victoria. We have not had yours for some length of time. 
Mr. Shillinglaw — We have not had one from New South Wales for years. 
Mr. Blackett — The Boards could not take offence if there were a proviso. 
The motion was carried. 
Legislative Power. 
Mr. Pond moved, and Mr. Mayne seconded — 
“ That copies of the resolutions adopted by this Conference be forwarded to 
the Colonial Secretaries of each of the colonies here represented, with a request 
that Legislative power be given effect to in accordance with these resolutions.” 
This was likewise carried unanimously. 
Provisional Registration. 
Mr. Potts then moved — 
“That, seeing the colonies have agreed to interchange certificates, the Conference 
respectfully recommends that provisional registration be granted by all the 
colonies for certificates only granted previous to the holding of this Conference.’ 
Mr. Mayne said he had very much pleasure in seconding the motion. 
Mr. Blackett — I must enter an objection to it, because it will destroy the real 
object of the Conference. It means putting off indefinitely the carrying out of 
the first resolution. 
Mr. Mayne — I think it is only a matter of courtesy on the part of Victoria. 
Mr. Pond — If it be made a recommendation I would like to adopt it. We 
may not have the power of adopting it, though. 
Mr. Potts — I don’t mean to enforce this matter; I only do it as a recom- 
mendation. I am in hopes that the recommendations of this Conference will 
have some effect upon the Boards relative to the interchange of certificates. 
I am simply carrying out my instructions, with a view to removing the 
difficulties affecting the two gentlemen in Queensland who are under provisional 
registration pending the granting of reciprocity. 
Mr. Blackett — With all due respect I must protest earnestly against the 
proposal, as it is most dangerous and stultifying to our work, and will be 
productive of a great deal of mischief. It becomes a recommendation of this 
Conference if it is passed, and, if it is adopted, what will they think of us in 
England? I speak earnestly and solemnly, and strongly recommend its with- 
drawal. I can see the effect of it as clearly as possible, and I am sure if Mr. 
Potts could see it in the same light he would withdraw the motion. 
Mr. Pond — I am afraid it will do us an incalculable amount of harm in New 
Zealand. He implored its withdrawal. 
Mr. Potts — I have done it in the interests of two men. But, seeing from 
what Mr. Blackett says, that it will have a bad effect, and rather than destroy
