thereto. For the greater convenience of readers, a com¬ 
plete catalogue is now in preparation. In the hope that 
many who are closely engaged during the day would avail 
themselves of the opportunity of reading if the library were 
accessible during a part of the evening, it was arranged in 
January last that it should, as an experiment, be kept 
•open on two evenings in the week from eight till t«n 
o’clock. The total number of attendances up to April 
•30th was 171, and the evening average about six. The 
“Council look forward to a larger attendance should the 
present early closing movement be generally responded 
to, and the advantages thus offered be more fully appre¬

Under the superintendence of the Library, Museum 
.and Laboratory, and House Committees, new cases 
necessary for the proper arrangement of the various 
specimens have been added to the museum, and in the 
basement of the Society’s House extensive alterations 
have been made, by which greater convenience has been 
afforded to the professors and the curator for carrying on 
their work in connection with the museum and the 
Society generally. 
The maintenance of correct Registers of Pharmaceuti¬

Registrar and Council by the Pharmacy Acts. Several 
sections of the Act of 18G8 refer exclusively to this 
point; and it is therein provided that the printed copy 
of the Register to be issued annually “ shall be evidence 
in all courts, and before all Justices of the reace; ” con-
