The President called the meeting to order at 3 o'clock. The roll being called by the Secretary, fifty-six members were found to be present.

THE SECRETARY.-Credentials have been presented from the Massachusetts College, the College of Pharmacy of the City of New York, Alumni Association of the College of Pharmacy of New York, Newark Pharmaceutical Society, New Jersey Pharmaceutical Society [I will remark that the credentials of the delegation from the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy have not yet arrived.

The Committee on Credentials retired.

THE PRESIDENT.-I regret to have to announce that none of the members of the Executive Committee are present. Dr. Garrigues will act in their absence, and now read the names of the applicants for membership.

Dr. Garrigues read a list of applicants for membership, together with their vouchers, when it was found that several applications were indorsed by only one member.

Dr. Squibb moved that the applications be received, except those who have been vouched for by only one member. The motion was amended by Mr. Eberle, by adding the words, "Unless some member present can vouch for them." The President suggested that the applicants may probably be known to some of the members present. The names not properly indorsed according to the by-laws were called again, and additional vouchers being obtained, the motion and amendment were withdrawn, when Dr. Garrigues reported the following applications for membership, the applicants having complied with all the requirements of the by-laws.

Committee on Credentials.

On motion of Mr. Judge, the report was accepted and the committee continued.

The roll, as amended by the names of the delegates present and of the newly elected members, was again called, when eighty members answered to their names.

The reports of committees were called for, and the following were handed in, and laid upon the table for future action: Report of the Executive Committee, with the Report of the Permanent Secretary.

Report of the Committee on the Drug Market.
Report of the Committee on Legislation.

THE SECRETARY.-I have not heard from the Committee on the Progress of Pharmacy, and I have received no report from them; the chairman is not present.

THE PRESIDENT.-I had a letter from Mr. Jenkins, stating that the report would be presented at the meeting.

PROF. DIEHL.-I would state that, on Saturday, Mr. Jenkins informed me that he wished to hand me a letter to the Executive Committee; but what the object was, or the nature of the letter, I don't know. He failed to leave the letter with me.

THE PRESIDENT.-Professor Jenkins informed me that the report would be ready, but on account of the German members refusing or neglecting to act, it would contain matter only from the French, English and American periodicals.

Regarding the report of the Committee on Papers and Queries, the Secretary stated that the Chairman, Mr. Doliber, was prevented from attending this meeting, and that the report was in the hands of Professor Procter, on his way to Cleveland.

No report was received from the Committee on Unofficinal Formulas, and Mr. Remington stated that Mr. Steer, the Chairman of the Committee on Adulterations and Sophistications, had informed him that he would be unable to make a report this year.

The President stated that the efforts of the Committee on Liquor Dealers' License of Apothecaries had been unsuccessful, and that the chairman would report verbally.

Mr. Ebert gave information that the Chairman of the Committee on Infringement of Stamp Tax had prepared a report, which would probably arrive to-day by mail.

The Secretary stated that the Chairman of the Committee to Consider and Report on the Arrangements for the Meeting in 1876, Professor Parrish, before starting on his Western tour, had informed him that the report was ready, and had been sent to the other members of the committee, from whom it would probably be received.

PROF. MOORE.-On behalf of the Committee on Liquor Dealers' License, I have to report that nothing could be accomplished at the last session of Congress. I made several visits to Washington, one in connection with Mr. Dalrymple, and the Commissioner of Internal Revenue and the Chairmen of the Congressional Committees advised that this matter be taken up early in the next session of Congress. The Commissioner could do nothing without an act of Congress, and Congress was so much engaged in other matters, it being the short session, as it is termed, they would not take the matter up and consider it. We could not get it before the committee at all, but they advised that the Association present the matter before Congress at an early period of the next Congress, and they had no doubt something would be done. I would suggest that this committee be continued, or another committee appointed, so the matter may be brought to the attention of Congress at an early period of the next session. THE PRESIDENT.-Better continue the committee.

PROF. MOORE-I don't know about that, unless the committee were here. It is very difficult to get even a committee to unite in what they want. If we could have a committee appointed of members present at this meeting, they could consult before the adjournment of the Association, and tell better what
