The  roll  of  members  was  now  called  by  the  Secretary,  the 
entire  attendance  being  106  members. 
The  Reports  of  Committees  being  in  order,  the  following  were 
laid  on  the  table : 
The  reports  of  the  Executive  Committee  and  the  Permanent 
Secretary. 
The  report  of  the  Committee  on  the  Progress  of  Pharmacy. 
"  "     Committee  on  Scientific  Queries. 
"  "     Constitution  and  By-Laws. 
"  "     Secretary  on  Legislation. 
No  reports  were  received  from  the  Committees  on  Drug  Mar- 
ket,  on  Unofficinal  Formulas  and  on  Photograph  Album. 
The  Chairman  of  the  Executive  Committee,  Mr.  Wiegand, 
being  absent  (because  of  an  accident),  Mr.  Taylor  of  the  Busi- 
ness Committee  read  his  report,  which  was  accepted  and  referred. 
The  Permanent  Secretary  then  read  his  annual  report  of  the 
publication  of  the  Proceedings,  etc.,  which  was  accepted. 
[The  Executive  Committee  report  that  the  Volume  of  Pro- 
ceedings was  issued  early  in  February,  that  a  number  of  appli- 
cations for  membership  were  made  in  the  interim,  and  that  more 
attention  is  needed  to  the  finances  of  the  Association.  The  chief 
burthen  of  the  report  is,  however,  its  Obituary  notices.  Eight 
members  have  succumbed  to  the  pale  messenger  since  last  report, 
viz. : 
Prof.  F.  F.  Mayer^  formerly  of  the  New  York  College  of  Phar- 
macy, is  supposed  to  be  dead,  as  the  most  diligent  inquiry  of  his 
friends  in  New  York  have  not  availed  to  find  his  whereabouts. 
When  last  seen,  between  Christmas  and  New  Year,  he  was  suf- 
fering much  from  neuralgia,  to  which  he  was  a  victim,  and 
his  friends  consider  him  as  dead.  It  seems  hard  to  recon- 
cile so  sad  a  fate  as  death  without  the  knowledg  of  friends,  to 
one  so  well  known.  Several  of  his  papers  are  scattered  through 
this  Journal,  and  give  evidence  of  marked  ability. 
William  Ellis  Jenkins^  of  Boston,  a  graduate  of  the  Massa- 
chusetts College,  died  Dec.  6th  last.  He  was  a  member  of  four 
years'  standing,  and  his  friends  testify  to  his  professional  skill 
and  personal  worth.
