the  report  is  for  the  year  ending  March  17,  191 5,  all  bills  for  the  year 
having  been  paid." 
Editor's  Report  was  read  by  Professor  Henry  Kraemer.  "  The 
subject  of  the  growing  of  medicinal  plants  is  of  growing  and  practical 
interest,  and  during  the  past  few  years  much  original  matter  on  this 
subject  has  been  published.  This  interest  is  reflected  in  the  demand 
for  back  numbers.  The  European  war  has  caused  some  delay  and  loss 
in  our  foreign  subscribers  receiving  their  Journal.  It  is  hoped  that 
this  will  soon  be  remedied.  The  twelve  issues  during  the  year  com- 
prised a  total  of  568  pages  and  a  complete  index  of  10  pages.  The 
articles  have  been  up  to  our  usual  standards,  and  we  are  indebted  to 
a  number  of  our  members  for  their  literary  and  scientific  contribu- 
tions. Mr.  Wilbert  has  continued  to  send  us  his  quarterly  reports  on 
the  '  Progress  of  Pharmacy.'  " 
Report  of  Committee  on  Pharmaceutical  Meetings  was  read 
by  Professor  Henry  Kraemer,  in  which  he  referred  to  the  work 
accomplished  during  the  past  year  and  suggested  that  the  by-laws  re- 
lating to  this  committee  be  changed. 
Curator's  Report. — In  the  absence  of  the  Curator,  Mr.  Joseph 
W.  England,  on  account  of  illness,  the  report  was  read  by  the  Secre- 
tary. "  The  Museum  is  in  good  condition ;  a  rearrangement  of  some 
of  the  cases  and  hanging  of  pictures,  etc.,  on  the  walls  has  had  a  very 
pleasing  effect.  The  Curator  suggests  changing  the  desk  and  plat- 
form to  the  south  end  of  the  Museum,  as  being  much  better  for  the 
holding  of  meetings  and  lessening  the  confusion  of  persons  coming 
in  during  addresses  and  business.  Suggestion  is  made  that  each  one 
of  the  departments  be  given  space  in  the  cases  to  exhibit  specimens  of 
apparatus,  etc.,  especially  of  an  historical  character.  More  shelf 
room  could  be  secured  in  the  Museum  by  replacing  the  larger  con- 
tainers with  smaller  ones."  The  suggestions  of  the  Curator  were,  on 
motion,  referred  to  the  Committee  on  Property. 
Report  of  the  Librarian  was  read  by  the  Librarian,  Miss

fication, and  shelf-listing  have  been  completed.  There  have  been  ac- 
cessioned 1492  books,  making  a  total  of  8756  books  ready  for  catalogu-
