The  latter  was  drowned  in  Lake  Erie  by  the  upsetting  of  a 
sail  boat.  He  was  a  graduate  of  the  N.  Y.  College  of  Pharmacy, 
and  was  highly  esteemed  by  those  among  whom  his  lot  was 
cast. 
The  Committee  request  that  all  members  who  have  knowledge 
of  the  decease  of  any  others  of  our  now  numerous  membership, 
will  advise  the  Chairman  of  this  Committee  of  the  time,  place, 
and  circumstances  as  far  as  proper,  that  they  may  be  duly  re- 
corded. This  is  the  more  necessary  as  the  widely  spread  range 
over  which  they  extend  makes  it  a  difficult  task  to  gain  informa- 
tion in  many  neighborhoods. 
The  appointment  of  the  Committee  to  nominate  officers  for  the 
ensuing  year  being  in  order,  the  Delegations  present  appointed 
the  following  members  to  serve  on  that  duty,  viz  : 
Massachusetts  College,    .       .       .       Ashel  Boyden. 
New  York  College, 
Philadelphia  College, 
Maryland  College, 
Chicago  College,  . 
Alumni  Association, 
Montreal  Association, 
By  the  Chairman  from 
the  members  at  large 
not  represented  by 
delegations. 
The  voluminous  report  of  Mr.  Diehl,  Chairman  of  the  Com- 
mittee on  the  Progress  of  Pharmacy,  being  called  up,  the 
Permanent  Secretary  read  extracts  from  the  document  as  usual, 
when,  on  motion,  it  was  accepted  and  referred  for  publication. 
This  document  appears  to  have  been  prepared  with  care,  and 
has  involved  so  much  labor  and  time  that  the  Chairman  declined 
serving  another  year,  which  is  the  more  to  be  regretted  as  he 
has  been  very  industrious  and  useful  in  this  service. 
Dr.  Squibb,  Chairman  of  the  Pharmacopoeia  Committee,  read

referred  for  publication,  viz  :
