G6 MEETINGS OF COUNCIL. THE COUNCIL elected on the First of March has held the usual meetings, with an average attendance of 16 at each meeting. There have been 23 Committee Meetings, at which, besides routine business, important matters affecting the welfare of the Institute have been fully discussed.The Council has most carefully considered the question as to the amount of Collegiate training required of those candidates who are engaged in the practice of Chemistry in the Labomtory of a Fellow of the Institute, in accordance with See. 2 of the “PROSPECTUS,”before they can be admitted to the practical examination of the Institute. This section of the Prospectus prescribes that every such candidate must produce evidence that he has been engaged for four years in the practice of Chemistry in the Laboratory of‘ a Fellow of the Institute, during at least two years of which time he has been entered as a Student of the Institute, and has regularly attended systematic courses of instruction in Theoretical and Practical Chemistry, Physics, and Elementary Mathematics, in any one or more of the Universities or chartered or incorporated Colleges or Schools approved by the Council.The text of these ‘‘ REGULATIONSFOR STUDENTS OF THE INSTITUTE,”is appended, and copies may be obtained on application to the Secretary . 60 REGULATIONS FOR THE ADMISSION TO THE ASSOCIATESHIP OF STUDENTS OF THE INSTITUTE who are engaged in the practice of Chemistry in the Laboramtory of a Fellow of the Institute. Every ,such Candidate for the Associateship will be required to produce evidence- (1) That he is not less than twenty-one years of age. (2) That he has been engaged for four years in the practice of Chemistry in the Laboratory of a Fellow of the Institute, during at least two years of which time he has been entered as a Student of the Institute, and has regularly attended systematic courses of instruction in Theoretical and Practical Chemistry, Physics, and Elementary Mathenzatics in some University, College or School approved by the Council.Students of the Institute will be held to have satisfied these conditions its to systematic training :-n By attending at least SO Lectures on “ Theoretical Chemistry ’P (including Inorganic and Organic) during the 2 years. b For “ Practical Chemistry,” Laboratory Work during the 2 years, of two Academic years, 3 days in each week, and at least 5 hours each day.c For “Physics.” Attendance on at least 50 Lectures on Physics, and work in the Physical Laboratory of at least 100 hours during the 2 years. d For “Elementary Mathematics,” Euclid, Books I., 11. and III.

If a Candidate has passed any examination, such as the fol-lowing, no further evidence of training in General and Theoretical Chemistry, Physics, and Elementary Mathematics, will be required. The final Honours Examination for the degree of B.A.at the University of Oxford in the subject, of Chemistry, in the School of Natural Science. The examination for the degree of B.A. at the University of Cambridge in the subject of Chemistry, and in Part 11. of the Natural Science Tripos. The final or Degree Examination for B.Sc. in the Universities of Edinburgh, Durham, or London, or the Victoria University, in the subjects of Chemistry and Physics. The Senior Moderatorship in Experimental Science in the University of Dublin. The Associateship of the Royal School of Mines, if taken before 1884. The Associateship of the Normal School of Science (now Royal College of Science, London) in the division of Chemistry. The Associateship of the Royal College of Science, Dublin, in the faculty of Manufactures.PRACTICAL EXAMINATION.^ Every Candidate for the Associateship will be required to pass an examination in Practical Chemistxy. This Examination will be held once a year, in June or .July, as nearly as possible simultaneously at such centres as the Council may determine. * When a Candidate for the Associateship, although complying with Regulations 1and 2, cannot produce evidence satisfactory to the Council, of having passed examinations in Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics, he shall be required to paw an Examination, such Examination to be by printed or written questions, to which the Candidate shall return written answers, without access to Books, MSS., or Memoranda. t A Syllabus of the Examination in Practical Chemistry may be obtained on application to the Secretary.UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES APPROVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE INSTITU'L'E.

The Examination in Practical Chemistry, which was held on July 14th and following days, was conducted by the Board of Examiners, namely :-Dr.MT. W. J. NICOL............... Birmingham. Professor W. N. HARTLEY,F.R.S. Dublin. Dr. E. J. MILLFJ,F.R.S. ............ Glasgow. Mr. WATBOPU’ SMITH.................. Manchester. Professor J. MILLAH.THOMPSON London.... ASSISTED BY Mr. C. H. BOTHAMLEY............... Leeds. Exaniinations mere held at six centres, namely, Birmingham, Glasgow, Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool and London, and as the regulations relating to the production of note books were compulsory this year, the candidates sent in their note books, accompanied by the P~~ofessor’s certificate that the work con-tained in it had been performed under his supervision, or that of his assistants. In most cases these were well kept. The number of Candidates who entered via8 43,and they all preset] ted themselres for Examination, namely, 11 at Liverpool, 10 at Manchester, 9 at London, 8 at Leeds, 4 at Birmingham and 1 at Glasgow.All of them passed the Examination in a satisfactory manner, aud the following List csntains their names, and that of the centres at which they u-ere Examined.

The Examinatioiis were alike at all the Centres, and the exercises set the same, Those in Qualitative Analysis comprised- (1) An alloy containing t,in, lead, antimony, and a small quantity of arsenic. (2) Recognition, by practical tests, of two substances given, namely, acetate of Gorphine and salicylic acid. (3) The candidates also had to prepare the double copper ammonium chloride, CuC1,,2NH4C1,2H,O, from sulphate of copper, and of course the usual laboratory reagents. Fifty grams of sul-phate of copper \\'as given to each candidate for this purpose and he had to obtain a good yield of the well crgstallised salt free from sulphuric acid, and then to examine quantitatirely the effect of heating it at looo In Quantitati-i-e Analysis the following exercises were set :-1.Volumetric estimation of silver in a silver copper alloy (80 O/,, Ag.); a standard solution of sodium chloride to be prepared. 2. Either of the two following exercises at the discretion of the Examiner :-(a) Sodium Phosphate (Cryst:). To determine the soda and phosphoric acid separately. (6) Copper Sulphate (Cryst:). To determine the copper, sulphuric acid, loss at 100°, and fifth molecule of H,O. 3. To examine atl organic substance, ni tronapthalene, quali-tatively for nitrogen, and to estimate the carbon and hydrogen by combustion.Judging from the york generally, many of the candidates have not had a sufficiently careful training in qualitative Analysis. $s qualitative analyses which are executed in an imperfect manner lead to inaccurate and even worthless results when they serve as the preliminary examination to quantitative work, it is of the highest importance that candidakes for the Associateship should give special attention to Qualitative Analysis. The quantative work was, as a rule, well done, and the ‘‘ preparations ” were carefully made. FELLOWS AND ASSOCISTES.
