which  our  Association  labors  in  consequence  of  its  financial  em- 
barrassment, it  is  agnin  noticed  with  the  hope  that  some  plan 
may  be  adopted  which  will  enable  those  charged  with  the  ex- 
penditure of  its  funds  to  meet  the  obligations  assumed  by  our 
Association  promptly ;  this  matter  will  be  so  fully  explained  by 
the  Treasurer  that  further  remarks  are  unnecessary. 
The  Permanent  Secretary  reports  the  reasons  for  delay  in 
publication  of  the  16th  volume,  and  hopes  the  arrangements 
made  in  advance  will  enable  him  to  present  the  17th  volume  at 
an  earlier  day. 
Fifteen  resignations  were  published  last  year,  and  21  members 
dropped  from  the  roll  who  have  neglected  the  payment  of  dues. 
The  entire  stock  of  proceedings  and  exchanges  are  deposited  in 
a  room  of  the  new  building  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Phar- 
macy, and  is  insured  at  the  sum  of  $2500. 
The  incidental  expenses  of  the  Permanent  Secretary  during 
the  past  year  are  itemed  as  follows:  Postage  stamps  $128.37  ; 
freight  $111.00 ;  boxes  $7-05  ;  paper,  twine,  nails,  etc.,  $4.50  ; 
porterage  $3.00  ;  circulars  $11*50  ;  insurance  $15.00  ;  engrossing 
and  filling  certificates  $28.00 ;  other  expenses  $5.45  ;  in  all 
$313.87. 
The  diplomas  for  the  gentlemen  elected  honorary  members  of 
this  Association  at  the  last  meeting  were  promptly  forwarded 
by  mail.  Letters  of  acknowledgement  have  been  received  by 
the  Secretary  from  all  but  three. 
The  report  concludes  with  a  list  of  the  stock  of  Proceedings 
on  hand,  and  the  remark  that  the  volumes  for  1854  and  1856 
are  out  of  print. 
The  Permanent  Secretary  laid  before  the  Association  the 
letters  of  acknowledgement  received  from  the  honorary  members 
elected  at  last  meeting  ;  also  one  from  Professor  Dr.  G.  C.  Ehren- 
berg,  of  Berlin,  addressed  to  the  President,  in  reply  to  the  ad- 
dress congratulating  him  on  the  50th  Anniversary  of  his  Docto- 
rate. 
Pending  the  appointment  of  the  Nominating  Committee,  the 
Chairman  expressed  his  pleasure  in  having  learned  from  the  re- 
port of  the  Committee  on  Credentials,  of  the  presence  of  delegates 
from  two  new  Associations — the  Kansas  College  of  Pharmacy
