pany has  been  recently  published.  It  contains  reports  of  analyses,  besides 
some  original  papers.  Reports  of  this  kind  ought  to  be  in  the  hands  of  retail 
pharmacists,  as  they  show  the  necessity  for  testing  goods  purchased.

Progress  in  Alkaloidai,  Chemistry,  during  the  year  1904,  by  Dr.  H.  M. 
Gordin,  is  the  title  of  Monograph  No.  10  of^the  Pharmaceutical  Popular 
Science  Series,  edited  by  Dr.  Edward  Kremers.  The  articles  forming  the  basis 
of  this  monograph  have  appeared  in  the  Pharmaceutical  Review.  It  is  fortunate 
for  the  student  of  pharmacy  that  these  articles  have  been  brought  together  in 
this  form,  as  the  literature  is  a  rather  large  and  wide  one,  and  the  abstracts  are 
unusually  full  and  present  a  great  deal  of  useful  information. 
Dr.  Henry  H.  Rusby  is  the  author  of  a  series  of  well  illustrated  and  interest-

Life  in  America.  In  the  September  issue  there  are  a  number  of  other 
interesting  articles  on  trees,  fruits,  birds,  stock,  poultry,  etc.

Lloyd  Library. — It  has  just  been  made  public  that  in  the  will  of  the  late 
Surgeon-General  James  Pattison  Walker,  of  England,  a  clause  gives  to  the 
Lloyd  Library  a  fund  of  $30,000,  and,  what  is  far  more  valuable  than  the  cash 
bequest,  the  entire  library  owned  by  the  distinguished  surgeon  and  student- 
scientist.  Gen.  Walker's  collection  of  books  and  manuscripts  is  known  to 
scientific  men  as  one  of  the  most  valuable  private  collections.
