sponded,  but  quite  a  number  have  r  ot  yet  been  heard  from,  and  it 
will  be  necessary  to  continue  the  correspondence.  Papers  and  notes 
of  especial  interest  and  historic  value  have  been  received  from  thirty-

Committee  on  Publication. — Prof.  Samuel  P.  Sadtler,  the  chairman, 
reported  that  The  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy  had  been  issued 
regularly  during  the  year;  the  number  of  unsold  volumes  on  hand 
was  estimated  at  about  1,875,  covering  the  period  from  1829  to  the 
present  time. 
The  members  of  the  College  were  requested  to  be  on  the  look- 
out for  back  volumes  previous  to  and  including  1876,  particularly 
the  four  preliminary  numbers  published  previous  to  1829,  and  the 
volumes  for  1829,  1830,  1 83 1 ,  1833,  1834,  1835,  l842>  1846,  1847, 
1856,  1865.  The  committee  acknowledged  their  indebtedness  to 
Mr.  Wm.  Mclntyre  for  the  first  two  volumes  (1829  and  1830)  ;  the 
Morris  Perot  Estate  for  a  number  of  volumes,  including  several  ol 
the  rare  ones;  Dr.  Susan  Hayhurst  for  quite  a  number  of  volumes; 
Messrs.  Seabury  &  Johnson,  of  New  York,  for  some  recent  back 
numbers,  and  to  Mr.  M.  I.  Wilbert  for  having  secured  several  or  the 
earlier  and  more  rare  volumes. 
The  editor's  report  was  read  by  Prof.  Henry  Kraemer.  On 
motion  of  Professor  Remington,  it  was  ordered  that  so  much  of  the 
report  as  the  editor  might  select  be  published  in  the  Journal  (p.  223). 
The  report  of  the  Committee  on  Pharmaceutical  Meetings  was 
read  by  Professor  Remington  :  "  During  the  past  year  the  meetings 
have  been  held  regularly,  and  have  been  of  professional  and  prac- 
tical interest.  Much  of  the  time  has  been  devoted  to  discussions 
following  the  reading  of  the  papers.  The  minutes  of  the  meetings 
have  been  published  regularly  in  The  American  Journal  of  Phar- 
macy, and  reports  of  the  meetings  have  been  sent  to  various  of  the 
drug  journals,  and  in  some  cases  to  the  daily  papers.  It  is  proposed 
to  consider  some  of  the  legal,  ethical  and  professional  problems  which 
confront  the  pharmacists  at  succeeding  meetings,  and  members  are 
urged  not  only  to  attend  the  meetings,  but  to  bring  forward  sug- 
gestions whereby  the  conditions  of  pharmacy  may  be  improved." 
Librarian's  Report. — Owing  to  the  illness  of  the  librarian,  Mr. 
Wiegand,  the  report  was  not  presented,  but  it  was  stated  that  during 
the  past  year  108  volumes  of  theses  had  been  bound.
