the  Smithsonian  grounds  at  Washington,  D.  C,  a  bronze  monument 
commemorative  of  the  late  Wiiliam  Procter,  Jr.,  the  father  of  Ameri- 
can pharmacy. 
Resolved,  That  the  committee  be  authorized  to  invite  the  co- 
operation of  the  various  State  pharmaceutical  associations,  and  all 
other  bodies  and  individuals  in  sympathy  with  the  undertaking,  and 
that  due  credit  be  given  to  each  subscriber. 
Resolved,  That  the  American  Pharmaceutical  Association  shall  be 
the  custodian  of  all  funds  collected,  and  shall  disburse  the  same  for 
the  object  herein  named,  under  such  rules  and  regulations  as  may 
be  adopted. 
The  committee  provided  for  by  the  resolution  has  been  appointed 
by  President  Beal,  as  follows :  Henry  Kraemer,  of  Philadelphia ; 
Frank  C.  Henry,  of  Washington,  D.  C;  Benjamin  T.  Fairchild,  of 
New  York ;  C.  S.  N.  Hallberg,  of  Chicago ;  John  F.  Hancock,  ©r 
Baltimore.  The  committee  will  soon  be  organized  for  work,  and 
they  will  have  to  formulate  a  plan  of  procedure.  We  need  all  the 
light  and  assistance  we  can  possibly  get,  believing  that  by  united 
action  the  money  necessary  can  be  collected  through  the  American 
Pharmaceutical  Association,  the  State  pharmaceutical  associations 
and  any  other  bodies  and  individuals  interested  in  the  laudable 
work.

the  American  gooseberry  {Ribes  oxyacanthoides  L.). 
American  cultivated  gooseberries  are  largely  derived  from  the 
native  species  R.  oxyacanthoides  L.    The  Downing,  the  variety 
studied  by  the  writer,  is  believed  by  Bailey1  to  be  a  descendant  of 
this  species. 
Macroscopic  Structure  The  gooseberry  has  much  the  same  gen- 
eral structure  as  the  currant,  but  the  fruit  is  larger  (1  to  2  centimeters 
in  diameter),  the  calyx  and  style  are  longer  (6  millimeters  in  length), 
and  are  pubescent,  and  the  smooth  pericarp  is  thicker  {Fig.  22). 
The  gelatinous  coat  of  the  seed  is  thicker  (often  2  millimeters  thick
