Mr. D. Ha a bury called attention to the test ordered in the British Pharmacopoeia, 
■which states that ammonia throws down a white precipitate, soluble in ether. Now 
the fact was, that traces of oxide of iron fell with the quinia, and remained behind 
after the action of ether. The quantity was too trifling to invalidate the results given 
by the process. 
Mr. Heathfield said that if the solution of citrate of iron had been concentrated 
by boiling down before scaling, the traces of iron named by Mr. Hanbury would ap¬ 
pear, but they would not from a citrate made without heat. 
At an afternoon sitting of the Conference, a resolution was proposed by Dr. Edwards, 
seconded by Mr. Jameson, and carried, “ That the next annual meeting of the Con¬ 
ference be held at Birmingham.” 
On the motion of Mr. Abraham, seconded by Mr. Commans, power was given to the

mingham.
