by it. Thi?. remarkable bird is described in a paper 
read before the Conference by Edward C. C. Stan¬ 
ford, Esq., and the specimen is presented by him to 
the Pharmaceutical Society. 
Products from excreta obtained by Stanford’s process. 
These are sulphate of ammonia and solution of am¬ 
monia, exhibited to show the purity of ammonia 
salts from this source. Acetate of lime and excreta 
charcoal which has been burnt twenty times. The 
process is a dry process, in which chai-coal is substi¬ 
tuted for eai’th; the quantity required is one-fourth 
that of earth, and the supply is derived from the 
excreta itself; the charcoal from this source being- a 
most powerful deodorizer. 
Particulars of Stanford’s patent process may be seen 
in the Chemical News, vol. xx. p. 196, also Report of 
British Association , 1869, and Proceedings of Glasgow 
Philosophical Society, 1869.

* Chemist and Druggist,’ Proprietors oe the 
London. 
‘The whole of the designs (twenty-eight in number) 
for a dispensing counter, for the prize offered by the 
proprietors of the Chemist and Druggist. The 
competitor who obtained the prize was Filmer 
Kidston, Duke Street, Union Street, Bishopsgate, 
London, with the following report:—“ This design 
Fas several points of excellence ; besides being the 
best arranged and most convenient as a dispensing- 
counter, it is handsome in appearance without being- 
showy.” 
Five other competitors were awarded honourable men¬ 
tion, viz. Messrs. Beynon, Fletcher, Watson, Willis, 
and Young. The gentlemen appointed to judge the 
merits of the designs were Messrs. T. H. Hills, Joseph 
Ince and Charles Savory. The various designs 
seemed to afford great interest to pharmaceutists, 
and were freely criticized during the whole time the 
Exhibition was open.

tion, with engraving, appears in the Chemist and

Evans, Son and Co., Liverpool; and Evans, Lescher 
and Evans, London. 
One of the most interesting series of objects exhibited 
was a large collection of living plants in pots,—mainly 
contributed, we understand, by the kindness of Mr. 
Tyerman, Liverpool Botanic Gardens, and repre¬ 
senting the source of many articles of materia medica 
not produced in Great Britain. The list is as fol¬ 
lows :— 
Jalap; camphor; Barhadoes aloes; green tea; tapioca; 
lime; arrowroot; scammony; gamboge; annatto; lemon 
grass; nutmeg; cinnamon false, ditto true; clove; 
locust; castor oil; coffee; vanilla; cinchona pale, ditto 
yellow ; nux vomica; mango; jatropha curcas, or physic 
mut; caper; ginger; long pepper; tamarind ; black 
pepper ; balsam of Peru; pomegranate; Montserrat lime 
fruit juice, and mature fruit; and tree with immature 
fruit imported from the Olveston plantation in the island 
of Montserrat. 
Messrs. Evans, Son and Co. also exhibited a large 
collection of drugs and pharmaceutical preparations, 
concentrated waters, etc. 
Bengal opium. 
Patna „ 
Turkey _ „ 
And various other raw drugs. 
Sapo durus for liniments, with specimens of lin. potass, 
iodid., etc. 
Crystallized oil of thyme, or thymol.

microscopes of various powers, prices, etc., suitable for 
students.

joined therewith.

Resin of scammony, entirely free from saccharine 
matter most commonly found in the resin scam¬ 
mony of pharmacy, which in the majority of speci¬ 
mens is merely hardened alcoholic extractive of 
scammony root; scammony roots. 
01. myristicae express. —This oil is obtained by hy¬ 
draulic pressure from crushed nutmegs; in odour 
it is far superior to common oil of mace. 
Expressed oil of stavesacre obtained by hydraulic 
pressure (50 cwt. to the square inch) from the crushed 
seeds of Delphinium Staphysagria. This oil is now 
used in preference to the ointment in some of the 
London hospitals. 
Resin podophyllin is now almost wholly imported from 
the United States, where it is obtained by a process 
somewhat different to that of the British Pharma¬ 
copoeia. The specimen manufactured according to 
the B. P. process is equal, if not superior, to the 
imported resinoid. 
Sulphate of quinine. Citrate of iron and quinine (con¬ 
taining an equivalent of 25 per cent, stilphate), also 
citrate of iron and quinine of corresponding strength, 
made with amorphous quina. 
As the manufacture of quinine is only carried on in 
two or three establishments in the kingdom, we 
have seldom opportunities of seeing the results of 
the competition of English manufacture. The spe¬ 
cimen exhibited is, we think, as good as any v e 
have previously seen. . 
Specimens also of granular effervescent citro-tartrate
