Sessional Prizes and Certificates awarded.

Scholarships was read, and the awards made to the successful candidates_which will be 
duly announced at the October Meeting. 
These prizes and certificates will be distributed at the Evening Meeting on the 4th 
October next, when the successful competitors will be expected to attend. 
It was resolved— “ That the Director of the Laboratory be required to mark off the 
names of the Students in an Attendance Book, twice daily. That those not then pre¬ 
sent in the Laboratory be noted as absent. That the Attendance Book be laid before 
the Laboratory Committee at their monthly meetings, and that the Secretary be re¬ 
quested to send an abstract thereof (if the Committee deem it desirable) to the parents 
of or those immediately interested in the Students, adding also an abstract of the atten¬ 
dances at the Professors’ Morning Lectures. That Certificates of Attendance be given to 
those who enter the Laboratory for three months and upwards, provided their attendances 
are regular, and that the Director report favourably as to their attention and diligence. 
That Certificates be given to those only who attend at least three-fourths of the Lectures 
delivered in the period for which they enter. That the copper-plate form of Certificate 
at present in use be confined to attendances for an entire course of Lectures, and that a 
small letter-press form be given to those who attend portions only of such Lectures.”

towards the expenses attending the admission of her child into the British Orphan

It was resolved—“ That the letter received from Dr. Rieckher, at Marbach, Wiirtem- 
berg relative to the meeting of the Apotheker-Vereins in Brunswick, in September 
next, be entered on the minutes, and that the Secretary be instructed to reply as fol- 
]ows :_lhat whilst this Society estimates highly the proposed objects of the Union, and 
would gladly give any facilities in its power to their prosecution, it is scarcely within 
its functions as a corporate body to appoint representatives thereto. They would, how- 
evei, draw the attention of the Union to a voluntary association existing in this coun¬ 
try under the title of the British Pharmaceutical Conference, one of whose objects is a 
correspondence with societies with similar aims in other countries, to whom such a 
communication might be addressed. This being done, the Pharmaceutical Conference 
would probably arrange, if practicable, to co-operate in some way at a future meeting.

leave to send you the programme for the International Congress in Brunswick,
