The  subject  of  a  Spanish  edition  of  the  Pharmacopoeia  was  re- 
ported upon  by  President  Wood.  He  was  instructed  to  continue 
his  investigations  and  again  report  to  the  board.  Dr.  Wood  finds 
considerable  demand  for  a  Spanish  edition  of  the  United  States 
Pharmacopoeia  in  Cuba,  Mexico,  Costa  Rica  and  Porto  Rico.

A  Course  in  Qualitative  Inorganic  Chemistry.  By  Arthur  L. 
Green  and  Chas.  E.  Vanderkleed. 
This  little  book  of  158  pages  seems  to  be  very  acceptable.  It  is 
particularly  strong  in  introducing  and  leading  up  to  the  subject  of 
qualitative  analysis,  so  that  the  student  does  not  learn  the  mechani- 
cal work  of  analysis  without  thoroughly  understanding  the  funda- 
mental principles  and  reactions.
