Pharmaceutical  Society  of  Great  Britain. — At  a  meeting  of  the  Council, 
held  September  4th,  a  letter  was  received  from  a  lady,  asking  if  ladies  were 
admitted  to  the  lectures  of  the  School  of  Pharmacy  and  to  the  laboratory. 
The  Secretary  stated  that  some  years  ago  Miss  (now  Dr.)  Garrett  applied  for 
admission  to  the  lectures,  and,  the  professors  seeing  no  objection,  she  paid  the 
fees  and  attended  the  course.  On  the  matter,  however,  being  brought  to  the 
attention  of  the  Council,  some  members  thought  such  a  proceeding  was  irregu- 
lar, and  a  resolution  was  passed  prohibiting  the  admission  of  ladies  to  the  lec- 
tures in  future. 
Mr.  Hampson  said  he  was  very  glad  such  a  letter  had  been  received,  and 
gave  notice  that  at  the  next  Council  meeting  he  would  bring  forward  a  resolu- 
tion for  rescinding  the  one  referred  to  by  the  Secretary. 
Pharmaceutical  Society  of  Paris.— The  meeting  of  July  3d  was  opened 
with  some  remarks  by  Mr.  Marais,  concerning  the  statement  made  by  Mr. 
Yuaflart*  in  regard  to  orange-flower  water.  The  speaker  said  that  in  1863  the 
commission  charged  with  studying  the  distilled  waters  in  connection  with  the 
revision  of  the  Codex,  found,  by  numerous  and  carefully  performed  experi- 
ments, that  orange  flower  water  distilled  with  steam  presents  many  advantages 
over  that  distilled  over  the  open  fire^and  that  its  conservation  is  as  easy  as 
certain.
