Joseph  P.  Remington,  curator,  made  a  verbal  rei^ort,  in  which  he  stated 
that  the  Museum  remained  in  about  the  same  state  and  condition  as  last 
year,  he  having  not  had  time  to  give  the  matter  as  nmch  attention  as  its 
importance  demanded. 
He  called  attention  to  the  necessity  of  having  a  considerable  amount  of 
work  done  during  the  ensuing  year,  and  as  there  was  a  large  amount  of 
material  to  be  placed  in  a  suitable  condition  for  exhibition,  he  recommended 
the  election  of  some  one  else  as  curator  who  could  give  the  matter  the 
requisite  attention.

following  report,  which  was,  on  motion,  adopted  : 
Philadelphia,  March  26,  1883. 
To  the  Members  of  the  Philadelphia  College  of  Pharmacy  : 
Gentlemen. — The  Publishing  Committee  respectfully  submit  their  annual 
report  that  the  Journal  has  been  issued  with  its  usual  regularity,  and  its 
character,  as  a  record  of  the  condition  and  progress  of  Pharmacy  and  its- 
allied  sciences  carefully  maintained. 
We  recognize  the  vast  amount  of  pharmaceutical  literature  that  is  now  in 
the  hands  of  the  profession  all  over  the  country,  yet  we  think  that  for  the 
purpose  for  which  the  Journal  was  originally  established,  and  is  still  con- 
ducted, it  fully  maintains  its  distinctive  character  and  usefulness. 
The  detailed  reports  of  the  Editor  and  Treasurer  which  accompany  this 
will  give  the  work  of  each  department. 
Henry  N.  Rittenhouse,  Chairman.
