PARIS.—SOCIETE DE PHARMACIE. 
6th July , 1870. 
M. Lefort, President. 
M. Bussy suggested that the Society should exchange 
the report of its proceedings with the several other 
pharmaceutical societies in France which publish re¬ 
ports : the proposition was referred to a committee. 
M. Maget presented a number of specimens of materia 
medica brought from China by the Marquis ‘d’Herve de 
Saint-Denis. M. Jeannel referred to the extended in¬ 
vestigation of the subject published by M. Debeaux. A 
committee was appointed to make a detailed examination 
of the collection. 
M. Bussy presented, on behalf of M. Carles, a memoir 
on the dissociation that oxalic acid undergoes in a boiling 
aqueous solution under the influence of a current of gas 
—oxygen, hydrogen, carbonic acid. The products formed 
are carbonic acid and formic acid. 
M. Planchon laid before the meeting a number of 
drawings representing the anatomical structure of drugs, 
remarking upon the great constancy of the general mi¬ 
crographic characters, either in the species of the same 
genus or in varieties of the same species. He showed 
that this mode of examination was remarkably adapted 
for distinguishing the barks known as canella, and pointed 
out the striking differences existing between those be¬ 
longing to the family Laurinacece and those improperly 
designated by that name. 
M. Lefranc read the first part of a paper on inuline. 
M. Duroy suggested that the Society should pronounce 
an opinion on the application of fluid extracts for the 
preparation of certain syrups. 
M. L. Soubeiran read a report recommending that 
MM. Y. Herran, Howard and Zaldivar should be elected 
corresponding members.
