Many gentlemen belonging to one or other of the three

subscriptions, which are to be paid, according to our public 
announcement, by June next. As membership of either of 
these societies entitles them to our three j)ublications, we shall 
consider that these subscription orders were sent to us under 
a misapprehension, and shall not ask for payment while 
membership continues. 
OURSELVES. 
An apology is dae to our subscribers for the somewhat late 
appearance this month of “The Chemist and Druggist of 
Australasia.” That this apology will be accepted we are 
certain, when we state that our editor has been prostrated 
with a very severe attack of brain fever. This being the case, 
the present issue is necessarily devoid of several interesting 
articles, one important portion “The Student’s Corner” not 
having any more of the crucial (luestions which it is our in- 
tention to insert when we are fortunate enough to once more 
have the services of our editor.
