THE CHEMIST AND DRUGGIST. 
October, 1880. 
sheet will be laid before you, and by reference to them I think 
you will find that in all we have done our aim has been, as far 
as possible, to consult our members throughout the colony, to 
exercise the greatest economy consistent with working the 
Society, and to make it as popular as possible ; and we have 
been pleased to receive their suggestions, and very generally 
their confirmation of our action. 
So much for what has been done. It may to some extent 
be considered of a preliminary character. We have been feel- 
ing our way, and it now remains for us thoroughly to organise 
our work for the future, which can be much more effectually 
done by our all meeting to discuss. The revision of our rules 
and many other matters will engage our attention. 
In conclusion, I would say that the fact of our being brought 
together, as we have been, to consider matters of general in- 
terest, has already had a good effect, and made us know one 
another better. And the establishment of the Society bring- 
ing the chemists of all parts of the colony into frequent com- 
munication with each other, by meetings held in connection 
with it, should have a tendency to do away with local 
jealousies. If we can only bear in mind the old motto that 
(( union is strength,” and act upon it, we may accomplish a 
great deal.

MELBOURNE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. 
Visitors to the Exhibition will have noticed that chemical 
and pharmaceutical products have been assigned a prominent 
place. All the most important exhibits under this class are to 
be found in the main avenue, on the right-hand side on leav- 
ing the main building. Our wholesale and manufacturing 
chemists make a creditable display. As most of our readers 
have inspected the various exhibits for themselves, it is un- 
necessary for us to describe them in detail, especially as on 
some future occasion — after the jurors have made their 
examinations — we shall be called upon to return to the subject. 
The following list includes the names and exhibits of the Vic- 
torian and foreign manufacturers. There are in the official 
catalogues 43 o chemical and pharmaceutical exhibits. Great 
Britain furnishes 61 ; France, 56 ; Germany, 51 ; Victoria, 63 ; 
New South Wales, 18 ; United States, America, 22 ; Italy, 
43 ; Japan, 6. There are 76 exhibits of perfumery. Under 
the classification of chemical and pharmaceutical products are 
included many articles which have little, or at least only a 
remote, relation to pharmacy, and are, consequently, in many 
instances omitted from enumeration in our list. The Phila- 
delphia College of Pharmacy has, in a letter addressed to Mr. 
Bosisto, very courteously given the exhibits No. 190 in cata- 
logue to the Pharmaceutical Society of Victoria — which offer 
has been accepted and acknowledged. At the close of the Ex- 
hibition the specimens will be added to the museum of the 
Society, and carefully preserved. We may take this oppor- 
tunity of expressing a hope that some of the other exhibitors 
will follow the laudable example of our American friends, and 
so enrich our collection ; the necessity for a more complete 
repository of materia medica and chemical specimens being 
increasingly felt by the Society.
