MEETING AT EDINBURGH. 
The Third Meeting of the present Session of the North 
British Branch of the Pharmaceutical Society was held 
in St. George’s Hall on Friday Evening, 3rd February; 
Mr. Aitken, President, in the chair. 
Professor Archer made the following communication 
on “ Isinglass ” :— 
In commencing this paper I beg it to be understood 
that in this, and similar efforts, my object is not to pro¬ 
duce original matter for the instruction of the senior 
members of this Association, but to draw the attention 
of the juniors to those subjects of interest in which their 
profession abounds, and which simply require to be pre¬ 
sented to their notice, to be appreciated as steps in the 
acquisition of that knowledge which is to become the 
foundation for their future success in life. 
Last winter I called attention to a series of animal 
substances which hold a very interesting position in the 
history of pharmacy; but I purposely left out the im¬ 
portant subject of my present paper, because it was im¬ 
possible to do justice to it in the general summary which 
I then presented to your notice. 
Isinglass, under its Greek name, Ichthyocolla (from 
ixOvs a fish, and u6\\a glue) was known in the tune of 
Dioscorides, who, however, says but little about it. 
Pliny, who wrote about fifty years later, that is, at the 
commencement of the Christian era, describes it as the 
production of a fish called ichthyocolla. In this he v as 
doubtless mistaken, and he evidently knew little of its
