The  report  of  the  Committee  on  the  Drug  Market  being 
called  for,  Mr.  Bedford  stated  that  Prof.  Mayer  had  prepared  a 
schedule  of  a  report,  but  had  been  prevented  from  completing  it. 
Dr.  Squibb  made  some  further  explanations,  and  moved  that 
Prof.  Mayer  be  excused  from  furnishing  a  report. 
Prof.  Procter  moved  to  amend  by  referring  any  report  Prof. 
Mayer  may  have  to  make  to  the  Executive  Committee ;  but 
after  some  explanation,  this  amendment  was  withdrawn,  and 
the  original  resolution  of  Dr.  Squibb  was  carried.

four  years,  who  have  failed  to  sign  the  Constitution,  and  are 
over  three  years  in  arrears,  be  stricken  from  the  roll.  Those 
living  in  the  Southern  States,  and  who  could  not  be  reached  by 
the  mails,  be  granted  a  further  indulgence. 
On  motion  of  the  Business  Committee,  the  report  was  accepted,
