INCE the Annual General Meeticg on March 2nd last, six Meetings of Council have heen field, with an average attendance of 15 Members at each. There have also Seen 21 Committee Meetings. On the retirement of Professor IT.R. Dunstan from the office of Exaiuiner, Professor Percy F.Frankland was appointed as his successor, and consequently there arose a vacancy on the Council, which was filled by the election of Ah-. Iiilliam Gowland. The Council have made some slight alterations in the Regulations for Admission to the Meinbership, more especially in regard to the final Examination for the Associateship; they are as follows :-FIKhL EXAMIKATIOK IN PXACTICAL CHEMISTRY FOR THE ASSOCIATE SHIP. 1. Each Candidate shall be required to show a thorough acquaintance with at least one bramch of Analytical Chemistry, to be selected by himself from the following list :-Mineral Analysis : General Inorganic Qualitative and Quanti- t a tive. Analysis and Assay of Metals, especially Alloys.Gas Analysis, iiicluding the calibration of measuring vessels and complete analysis of mixed gases. Organic Analysis, including Combustions : the es timatiou of the proximate constituents of organic mixtures. -4iialysis of Water, Food, and Drugs, including the Assay of Alkaloids and recognition of impurities, adulterations and substitntions. 3. Any Candidate shall be at liberty to pl'esent a thesis or dissertation upon any Chemical subject to which he has paid special attention, and the thesis, if approved by the Examiners, may be taken as part of the Examina- tion. The Examiners, however, shall be at liberty to apply any test which they think desirable either viv6 fiocc, or by writing, or by experimental work, in order to obtain evidence as to the practical knowledge of Chemistry possessed by the Candidate.All Candidates must be familiar with the use of such scientific instru- ments as are commonly found in Chemical Laboratories. 3. This Exaniination shall occupy at least three days. The Examina- tion Fee of 323 3s. shall be paid before admission to this Examination. If a Candidate withdraws his name, or fails to present himself at the Examination, or fails to pass it, the Fee shall not, be returned to him, but he shall be allowed to enter for om subsequent Final Examination upon paynient of an additional Fee of 22 2.;. The Council have furthur decided to recommend :-I. That Associates and Students of the Institute of Chemistry, intending to apply for appointments as Public rhalystsl should take as an extra subject a systematic course in Therapeutics.Pharmacology, and Microscopy, and pass the Class Examinations in these subjects. The extent of the course should cover the following work :-The recognition of specimens of any drug or poisonous chemical ordinarily to be found in com- merce or employed for technical purposes in the Arts or Manufactures; the detection, by micro-scopical or chemical examination, of adulterations, substitutions, or impurities in food and drugs. Such a course should also include a general knowledge of the therapeutic effects of ordinary drugs, and of the quantities of such drugs and poisonous chemicals which taken internally would be injurious or fatal to man. 5 2.That in cases where the above regulations have been complied with, a statement to that effect be given. Fellows and Associates already registered will also be entitled to such a statement on producing evidence of having conformed to the above regulations. In consequence of the large number of Candidates pre- senting themselves for examination in July, 1896, it was, found necessary to hold two Examinations. The Pass Lists and particulars of the exercises and papers are given on pages 10-19. It is satisfactory to note that the Civil Service Commis- sioners have inserted the following clause in the Special Regulations, issued by them on June 5th) 1896, respecting the Open Competitive Examinations for the situation of Junior Assistant in thc Uepartment of the War Ofice Chemist at VV 001wich :-‘‘ V.The successful Candidate will be required to qualify as an Associate or Fellow of the Institute of Chemistry within two years of the date of the comnienceinent of his service as Junior Assistant.” At the Meeting of the Council held in October, the President drew the attention of the Council to several para- graphs in the Report of the Select Committee of the House of Commons on Food Products Adulterations, dated July gth, 1896, which he considered of interest and importance to the Institute of Chemistry. In the Report referred to above a recornmendation is made that a Court of Reference be established, which should have power to make such orders as they think proper respect- ing standards of the quality and purity of food and that such orders should, when confirmed by a Secretary of State, have the force of law.This Court should also be empowered to deal with other matters affecting the administration of the Food and Drugs Acts. As to the Members who mould constitute the proposed Court of Reference, the Select Coiiiniittee recommend that the Principal Officer of the Government Laboratory at Somerset House should be ex-oficio a Member ; that nominees of the Local Government Board and Board of Agriculture be included ; and that the proposed Court should also comprise one or more Analysts of repute, together with representatives of tlie General Medical Council, the Institztte of Chemistvy and the Pharmaceutical Society ; and that other Scientists, and representatives of the trading and manu-facturing community should also be included.At the Congress of the Sanitary Institute, held at New-castle-on-Tyne, the Institute of Chemistry was represented by Professor P. P. Bedson and Mr. John Pattinson. Upon the question which has been raised as to the title of Analytical and Consultirig Chemists being used by companies, the Council feel strongly that it is most undesirable for any company or corporation to represent itself as ‘‘ Analytical and Consulting Chemists,” the qualification for which is a strictly personal one ; and the Council have also expressed, in con-nection with this, tlie opinion that all papers and certificates referring to Analyses should bear the name of the person responsible or the performance of the work.The Council have also had under careful consideration certain matters raised by Dr. ,Teed at the last Annual General Meeting with regard to the Institute taking iniinediate steps to obtain compulsory powers of registration, and will comment upon these in their Annual Report. 7 Several other subjects have engaged the attention of the Council, such as the suggestion to establish a Museum for the exhibition of apparatus of historical or special interest, within the buildings of the Institute ; the advisability of the Institute making some arrangement by which Members desirous of obtaining professional engagements might be assisted in their endeavours.The Council, after due con- sideration, have decided that it is inexpedient at the present time to proceed further with these matters. On June 5th the President and Miss Russell invited the Fellows and Associates to a Soirke, held at the Galleries of the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colors. The President’s invitation was accepted by a very large number of Members and others, among whom was Professor Mendeleeff. At the subseqixent Council Meeting a vote of thanks was passed to the President, and he was requested to express to Miss Russell the very great pleasure it had given the Mem-bers to attend the Soirke. The following congratulatory address from the Members of the Institute of Chemistry was presented to Lord Kelvin on his completing the fiftieth year of his Professorship of Natural Philosophy in the University of Glasgow : COKGRATULATORPADDRESSTO THE RIGHT HON.LORD KELVIN, LL.D., D.C.L., F.R.S., FROM THE IKSTITUTECHEMISTRYOF OF GREAT BRITAIN.mi> IRF:LAND.~ The Members of the Institute of Chemistry beg to convey to you their sincere and hearty congratulations on the occasion of your having completed your fiftieth year as Professor of Natursl Philosophy in the University of Glasgow. s They gladly take this opportunity of expressing their acknowledgment of your splendid services to Science, and of recalling the benefits which have been conferred upon the Industries of the Country by the practical application of your experimental researches.While these invcstigations have not been in the domain of Chemistry, they have, nevertheless, in the branches of Thermoclynairiics and Electricity covered ground closely bordering on it ; and the fundamental conceptions which have formed so large a part of your theoretical work have already had, and will undoubtedly in the future exercise more and more, an impor- tant influence on the development of Chemical Theory. The Members of the Institute sincerely hope that your life inay long be spared and that you may be able still further to increase the debt of grati-tude owed to you by the eutire scientific world.

Professor Ramsay, at the request of the Council, presented the above address, and a letter of acknowledgment was subsequently received from Lord Kelvin, expressing his gratification on receiving the Address from the Institute.ABSTRACT OF THE REPORT OF THE EXAMINERS Professor PERCY F. FRANKLAND,F.R.S., F.I.C. AND OTTO HEHNER, Esq., F.I.C. ON THE Examinations in Practical and Theoretical Chemistry, JULY, 1896. In consequence of the number of Candidates presenting themselves being largely in excess of the accommodation afforded by the Laboratory of the Institute, it became necessary to hold two Examinations. Owing to Candidates having for the first time come forward for the Final Examina- tion under the new Regulations in different branches, it was necessary to conduct a number of distinct examinations concurrently. Thus, at the First Examination (July 21st--24th) there were 24 Candidates, of whom 12were under the Old Regula- tions : 3 for the Intermediate, and 8 for the Final Examina- tion, and I requiring a special Examination in Agricultural Chemistry.Again, of the above 8 Candidates presenting themselves for the Final Examination : 4 were in Branch “A,” I in Branch “ B,” I in Branch D,” and 2 in Branch ‘‘ E.” The Candidates under the Old Regulations and for the Intermediate Examination were submitted to the same Practical Examination on the first three days, whilst on the fourth day the latter had two written papers on Theoretical Chemistry, and the former Candidates a further practical Examination.In each of the Branches A, B, D, and E 10 of the Final Examination a perfectly distinct practical Exami- nation extending over four days was held. In the Second Examination (July 28th-3 1st) there were 11 Candidates, including 5 under the Old Regulations ; 3 for the Intermediate; z for the Final Examinatior, in Branch A, and I in Branch E. The Candidates in these several categories were submitted to Examination on the same lines as are indicated above. A complete list of the practical problems and written papers set at the two Examinstions is given on page 12. The following Candidates acquitted themselves to the satis- faction of the Examiners.
