corrected.  As  to  what  changes  will  be  required  on  the  above 
basis,  it  is  a  mere  matter  of  detail  to  work  them  out.  I  will  here 
indicate  a  few  which  I  have  in  mind,  in  addition  to  those  enumer- 
ated in  my  A.  Ph.  A.  paper. 
"  Apocynum. — Species  wholly  indefinite,  and  requires  full  phar- 
macological investigation. 
"  Asafcetida. — Add  *  and  probably  from  other  species  of  Ferula' 
"  Aspidosperma. — I  think  it  almost  certain  that  more  than  one 
species  yields  the  bark  (of  good  quality)  of  commerce. 
"  Aspidium  ? 
"Castanea. — Write  1  C.  dentata  (Marsh.),  Borkh.' 
"  Chondrus. — Worked  out  by  Henry  Kraemer.  See  « Proc.  Penn- 
sylvania Pharmaceutical  Association,'  1899;  also  Amer.  Jour. 
Pharm.,  1899,  P.  479- 
"  Cinchona. — After  C.  Calisaya  insert  C.  Ledgeriana. 
"  Coca. — I  believe  that  the  chemical  and  therapeutic  differences 
are  sufficient  to  warrant  two  titles  for  the  Truxillo  and  Huanuco. 
Or  else  let  cocaine  represent  the  latter,  and  let  the  preparations  be 
made  from  the  former,  and  make  it  the  official  one. 
u  Eucalyptus. — I  think  it  should  be  required  that  these  come  from 
their  native  home.  They  apparently  differ  greatly  in  quality,  as 
coming  from  different  places  where  they  have  been  introduced. 
"  Hedeoma. — The  synonym  should  be  <  American  Pennyroyal,' 
and  the  same  qualification  should  be  applied  to  the  oil. 
"  Ipecacuanha. — The  relative  properties  of  cephaeline  and  emetine 
should  be  investigated,  and  the  advisability  of  admitting  the  Carthe- 
gena  be  thus  determined. 
"  Kino. — Eucalyptus  gum  is  almost  wholly  sold  for  Kino,  and  it  is 
probably  even  better. 
"  Menispermum. — The  Southern  (Texan)  is  very  likely  specifically 
distinct  from  the  Northern. 
"  Mentha  viridis  should  be  written  M.  spicata,  L. 
"  Menthol. — Holmes  is  author  of  the  two  variatal  names  involved. 
See  B.P. 
"  Pilocarpus. — Drop  P.  Selloanus  and  perhaps  add  one  or  more  of 
the  newly-discovered  ones.  Even  then  it  will  be  hard  enough  to 
meet  the  demand. 
"  Rheum. — The  B.P.  definition  is  correct. 
"  Rubus. — Omit  R.  Canadensis.
