MINUTES  OF  THE  COLLEGE. 
I' think,  finally,  it  would  be  very  well  to  present  me  a  list  of  specimens 
which  you  are  able  to  send,  before  taking  the  trouble  of  composing  really 
the  collection,  in  order  to  simplify  the  choice,  and  to  avoid  useless  care. 
The  collection  may  be  sent  to  the  Smithsonian  Institution,  Washing- 
ton, to  be  directed  to  Mr.  Flugel,  Consul  of  the  U.  S.  at  Leipzig,  together 
with  the  books  which  the  Smithsonian  Institution  presents  from  time  to 
time  to  the  Swiss  Association  of  Natural  Sciences. 
I  am  ready,  for  my  part,  to  send  you  any  Swiss  plants,  medical  or 
others,  which  you  will  make  known,  or  drugs,  minerals,  &c. 
I  beg  you  to  present  to  the  next  meeting  of  the  American  Pharmaceu- 
tical Association  the  best  thanks  of  their  Swiss  colleagues,  who  receive 
with  great  pleasure  your  communications.  Best  regards,  also,  to  Mr. 
Maisch. 
With  the  assurance  of  true  respect, 
I  am,  truly  yours, 
FLUKIGER,  Dr., 
Pz'esident  of  the  Apothecaries'  Association  of  Switzerland,  Apothecary  of  the  State  of  Berne. 
The  Committee  on  Latin  Labels  informed  the  College  that  they  have 
in  press  a  new  and  greatly  extended  book  of  specimen  labels,  including 
the  names  of  articles  of  Materia  Medica,  Pharmaceutical  preparations, 
and  chemicals  used  in  analysis  and  for  illustration,  the  whole  being  in- 
tended for  use  in  cabinets  of  specimens.
