Local Sections-The Council have had much pleasure in confirming the formation of local sections of the Institute at Birmingham, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Gretna, Liverpool, Manchester and Swansea. Steps are also being taken, in accordance with the resolutions passed at the Extraordinary General Meeting held on April 27th last, towards the formation of sections in other centres, and the Council hope that all Fellows and Associates will co-operate in the movement. The names and addresses of the local secretaries are given on pp. 63-65. At the inaugural meetings the members present have dis- cussed the draft rules for local sections and a suggested new scheme for the election of the Council of the Institute.The views on these matters thus obtained will be considered in due course by the General Purposes Committee. Hitherto the initiation of Local Sections has been left to the Members themselves, but as no steps had been taken with regard to London the Committee recommended and the Council resolved that the matter should be taken in hand as soon as possible. Federal Council of Chemical Society.-The Council have discussed the position of the Institute in connection with the proposed Federation of Chemical Societies. In this connection a letter was received from Prof. H. E. Armstrong, stating the objects of the Federal Council and intimating that it had been suggested that the Institute should not be a con-stituent body, but should be associated with the Federal 4 Council and represented on it while remaining free as the Professional Body to carry out its duties in accordance with its Charter.To this proposal the Council agreed. A ppoi ntment of Honorary Treasu rer.-The Council have pleasure in announcing that Mr. Edward William Voelcker , A.R.S. M. ,has accepted the appointment of Honorary Treasurer of the Institute, in place of the late Mr. Alfred Gordon Salamon, A.R.S.M. The thanks of the Council have been accorded to Mr. William Thomas Burgess, Vice-president, for his services as Acting Honorary Treasurer while the selection of Mr. Salamon’s successor was under consideration. Election of a Member of Council.-Prof.Frederick George Donnan, F.R.S., has been elected a Member of Council in place of Prof. Jocelyn Field Thorpe, C.B.E., F.R.S., who has retired owing to pressure of official work. Finances.-Before the outbreak of war it was anticipated that the work of the Institute could be carried on without increasing the Annual Subscription of the Fellows and Associates, but in view of the prevailing economic conditions and in order to develop the activities of the Institute on the lines decided at the Extraordinary General Meeting held on April 27th last, the Council, acting on the recommendation of the Committee, have resolved to adopt the following alterations forthwith :-(I) That the Fellow’s Annual Subscription be increased from jtl~IS.to flz 2s. (2) That the Associate’s Subscription be increased from IS. to fl~11s. 6d. (3) That the Student’s Annual Subscription be increased from 5s. to 10s. With one exception the Meetings held to inaugurate Local Sections of the Institute have agreed to the principle involved. The Council hope, therefore, that they will have the support of the Institute generally in this decision. 5 The additional income to be derived from the increased subscription will be devoted to the promotion of the interests of the Members and Students in every way possible, and particularly in the following directions :-The development of Local Sections. The revision of the method of electing the Council, and provision for the payment of fares of country Members of Council to at least four Meetings annually.The extension of the publications of the Institute ; providing for a Register containing more information about the Fellows and Associates, more frequent Proceedin,gs, Lectures, and special issues, such as “ Official Chemical Appointments,” as well as propaganda bringing before the public the importance of chemistry to the country, its indus- tries and commerce. The more complete organisation of the “ Appointments Register ” and, generally, of means for assisting Fellows and Associates to secure professional employment. The improvement of the Library. The increase of the official staff for the above purposes. The Finance Committee have been instructed to revise the schedule of Life Compositions, and the General Purposes Committee to consider the desirability of revising the Bye- Laws dealing with Subscriptions and Entrance Fees.The Council have also decided to make a further appeal to Fellows and Associates with a view to the completion of the Building Fund. Industrial A ppointmerits.-Although since the signing of the armistice conditions have been rapidly altering, the Council think it well to record that in June last they were in communication with the Ministry of Labour with reference to the provisions of Regulation 8B made under the Defence of the Realm Act, whereby candidates for certain appointments were required to “ apply to the nearest Labour Exchange.” The Ministry replied explaining that technically the restric- tions imposed by the Regulation applied to advertisements c2 6 for any person required by firms carrying on the classes of business specified in the Regulation, viz., engineering, ship- building, or the production of arms, ammunition or explosives, or of substances required for the production thereof.The Minister, however, did not in practice raise objection to the publication in the usual manner of advertisements relating to higher staff appointments, and in accordance with this practice it was not necessary that advertisements for duly qualified professional chemists should comply with the condition that applicants should be referred to an Employment Exchange and not direct to the employer or a box number.The procedure, however, still applied to advertisements for subordinate, laboratory staff who did not require definite professional qualifications. Officers’ Resettlement Committee.-The Ministry of Labour having requested the Council to appoint a representa- tive of the Institute to serve as a Member of the Officers’ Resettlement Committee, the Registrar has been nominated for that purpose. The functions of the Committee are to afford guidance to the officials of the Appointments Department of the Ministry and when necessary to interview Candidates, to advise them and give them assistance in the choice of a career. The Registrar has at tended meetings in connection with the work of the Committee and has promised that the Institute will do all it can to find appointments for chemists and chemical students who have been serving with the forces.Appointments Register.-In view of the prospect of the demobilisation of a considerable number of chemists who had been serving with the Forces, and of others who had been engaged in industries connected with the War, the Council have decided to give further publicity to the Appointments Register of the Institute. Fellows and Associates are invited to communicate with the Registrar in any instance in which they are able to direct attention to suitable vacancies for qualified chemists. 7 I nd ust r ial Cou nciI s.-The General Purposes Commit tee have had under consideration the position of the Institute in relation to the proposed appointment of National Industrial Councils under the Whitley Report. A letter has been addressed to the Minister of Labour, pointing out that, although modern productive industry depends so much on the work of chemists, engineers and the like, such technical experts do not appear to have any place in the constitution of the Industrial Councils, and asking, in view of the fact that it is proposed that the Industrial Councils shall deal with such subjects as technical education and training, industrial research, utilisation of inventions and improvements, and industrial experiments-(a) whether it is intended that qualified professional technical experts shall be represented on the Industrial Councils ; and (b)whether it is desired that the professional bodies representing such men should be brought into consultation in any way in connection with the technical matters mentioned in the Report.Mr. Roberts, the Minister of Labour, has promised to give the matter his careful consideration. Profess ional Interests.-The Public Appointments Committee have reported on the representations made to the Corporation of Birmingham with reference to the action of the Municipal Research Laboratory in sending out pamphlets and letters soliciting practice in competition with private chemical practitioners. The Council hope that the differences which have arisen between the Municipal Research Laboratory and professional chemists in Birmingham may be satisfactorily and amicably adjusted, and have suggested that there should be no serious obstacle to such settlement, since, on the one hand, it is admitted that there is room for a Municipal Laboratory, and, on the other, assurance has been given by the City authorities that they have no desire to prejudice the interests of professional chemists. The Public Appointments Committee, in conjunction with representatives of the Society of Public Analysts, are also 8 watching the interests of professional chemists in connection with the proposed Bill for the establishment of a Ministry of Health.Having in view the greatly increased working costs of public analysts, they have expressed the opinion that such officers are fully justified in asking for a readjustment of their remuneration. On the recommendation of the Committee, thc Council have approvpd a stntement on the cecessity for a definitely crganised Government Chemical Service, which has been brought to the notice of all Government Departments con- cerned.A copy of the statement appears on p. 14. The attention of the Council has been directed to repre- sentations made to the Ministry of Munitions by chemists engaged in H.M. Factories. The Council have addressed a letter to the Minister of Munitions, approving and supporting in general principle the claim for the more adequate recognition of the services of munition chemists. The Regulations.-The Council have revised the Regula- tions for the admission of Students, Associates and Fe!lows on the lines agreed upon at the Extraordinary General Meeting held in April.Copies will be forwarded to members and prospective Candidates free of charge on application to the Registrar. In stitutions.-The following institutions have been added to the list of those formally recognised by the Council for the training of Candidates for the Examinations of the Institute :-Blackburn : Municipal Technical School ; Bradford : City Technical College ; London : Battersea Polytechnic, Birkbeck College, South-Western Polytechnic ; Reading : University College ; Salford : Royal Technical Institute ; Perth (W. Australia) : The University of Western Australia. Examination s.-At the examinations f or the Associateship held in July only four Candidates presented themselves.The following were successful :-In Organic Chemistry : William Henry Craven, B.Sc. (Lond.) ; In the Chemistry of Food and Drugs, etc. : Miss Ella Caird. The examination papers are given on pp. 21-23. 9 Two Candidates, Edwin Burnhope Hughes and Samuel Davenport Fairfax Harwood, have also been examined in Mauritius and both passed in the Chemistry of Food and Drugs, etc. Chemical Society Library.-The Council of the Institute have subscribed the sum of E25 towards the scheme for enlarg- ing the scope of the Library of the Chemical Society and extending its use to the members of other scientific bodies. Patents and Designs Bill.-Following on the Technical Institutions’ Conference on Patent Law Amendment, referred to in Proceedings, Part III., a Committee was appointed on which the Institute was represented by Mr.Horatio Ballan- tyne, Vice-president, to consider the provisions of the Patents and Designs Bill, 1917,and Patent Law Amendment generally. Arrangements were made with the President of the Board of Trade to meet a deputation regarding the Bill at Whitehall Gardens, on Thursday, October 10th. Sir Albert Stanley was unable to be present, but Mr. Wardle, M.P., Parliamentary Secretary of the Board, with Sir H. Llewellyn Smith and Mr. Temple Franks, Controller of Patents, received the depu- tation, representing many engineering and technical societies and professional ins tit ut ions.Mr. Nichael Longridge, President of the Institution of Mechanical Engi- neers, spoke on the subject generally and introduced the other speakers. Dr. Ferranti spoke on a moratorium for patents. Jlr. Ballantyne referred to the importance of protecting inventions relating to food, medicinal or surgical products, and the importance of ‘‘ product ” claims, the abolition of which appeared to be sought in Clause 11 of the proposed Bill of 1917. He showed that this would be a special hard- ship in the case of chemical inventions and would act as a deterrent to the development of chemical industries. In the present advanced state of chemical science, when a new compound was discovered, alternative pro-cesses for its manufacture were, as a rule, soon invented.These later processes were sometimes as good as, or even preferable to, the original method, and in the absence of a product claim the real pioneer and founder of the new manufacture would be liable to lose the reward of his invention. Even if the patentee himself were fortunate enough to discover or acquire such alternative processes, he naturally would use in practice only that method which he preferred, a very small commercial advantage being 10 sufficient to determine his choice. He would then run the further risk (under the provisions of the 1917 Rill) of being penalised, for the non- working of such alternative processes, either by way of revocation or otherwise. Without a product claim, it would be practically impossible to prove infringement in cases where the manufacture occurred abroad, since a chemical compound rarely afforded any reliable indication of the process by which it had been made. This consideration applied with special force to Germany, from which country the substance could, with impunity, be imported either directly or by a roundabout route, and the patentee would have no remedy.A product claim, however, would enable the infringemcnt to be stopped. No tariff or other protective measure would be so eeectivc a bar to unfair competition of this kind. The inventive ability called for in the discovery of synthetic chemical compounds was of a very high order and should be encouraged in emry way. The real invention in such cases was the new substance itself and not merely the method by which it had been made.If the reward for such inventions was likely to be small, or if the patent was liable to the risk of evasion by the use of alternative processes, neither capital nor individual effort would be attracted to the development of such manufactures. It was precisely in manufactures of this kind that German chemical industry had attained such a commanding position. Nothing should be done to discourage British chemists and manufacturers from pursuing research upon this high plane of intellectual activity. The existence of a product claim was no bar to the invention of alterna- tive methods ;these processes could be patented. If the exploitation of such processes were prevented by the refusal of the first patentee to grant alicence on reasonable terms, compulsory licences would be the proper remedy. Mr.W. M. Mordey (Institution of Electrical Engineers) spoke on the extension of the term of patents, the period of provisional protection, the period for acceptance of the complete specification and the reduction of patent fees ; Sir George Croydon Marks on the protection of patentees in relation to utilisation of their inventions by the State ; Mr. M. Atkinson Adam (Institution of Automobile Engineers) on the limitation of provisions for revocation of patents and safeguarding patents of addition ; and Sir Robert Hadfield, F.R?.S.(Sheffield Society of Engineers and Metallurgists) on suggestions for a special tribunal to deal with patent cases.Mr. C. €I. Wordingham thanked the representatives of the Board of Trade for receiving the deputation. Mr. Wardle said that the views of the deputation would be very carefully considered in drafting the new Bill. It is understood that the views expressed by the deputation are under consideration by the Board, and that the presenta- tion of the Bill in Parliament has, therefore, been temporarily delayed.

Harrison, whose name will long be remembered for his valuable services in connection with the protection of the British and Allied Forces against gas attacks. Personal.-Sir Herbert Jackson, K.B.E., F.R.S., has been appointed Director of Research to the British Scientific Instruments Research Association. Lieut.-Colonel A. W, Crossley, C.M.G., F.R.S., has been appointed Daniel1 Professor of Chemistry in the University of London, King’s College. Mr. Charles R. Darling has been appointed Chairman of the Admiralty Committee on Electric Welding Research. Sir Boverton Redwood, Bart., has been appointed Chairman of a Committee appointed by Mr.Walter Long to investigate the available sources of supply of alcohol, with particular reference to its manufacture from materials other than those which can be used for food purposes, the method and cost of such manufacture, and the manner in which alcohol should be used for power purposes. Professional Institutes. -Attention is directed to a case decided by Mr. Justice Eve on July 17th last (Institute of Chartered Accountants v. Hardwick), in which the Institute of Chartered Accountants sought to restrain the defendant, who had formerly been, but no longer was, a member of the Institute, from using on his letter-paper, etc., in connection with his business of accountant and auditor, the words “ Honours Final, Institute of Chartered Accountants.” The Institute held that, although the defendant had passed the final examination of the Institute with honours, the words used were calculated to convey the false impression that he was still a member of the Institute.Evidence was called to show that independent members of the public had in fact been misled by the words complained of into believing the defendant to be a member of the Institute, and an injunction 13 was therefore granted. The decision is obviously of importance to any public body constituted for the purpose of elevating the status of a profession, and maintaining it, in the public interest, at a high level of efficiency and integrity. Such a body is properly jealous of its rights and bound to protect them in case of infringement. From a legal point of view the position is that, whilst any person has the right to state facts, he has no right to state them in such a manner as to mislead ; and where there is any doubt as to whether or not an ordinary reasonable person will be misled, the question resolves itself into one of evidence.-Abstracted from The Secretary.14 Suggested Government Chemical Service, The Council of the Institute of Chemistry desire to direct the attention of His Majesty’s Government to the increasing and vital importance of chemical science in affairs of the State. The Institute, which has now been in existence for over forty years, is entrusted by Royal Charter with the duty of maintaining the status of the profession of chemistry, by pre- scribing courses of training for students of chemistry, by conducting examinations, and by the registration of persons found competent to practise. During the War, moreover, the Institute of Chemistry has been one of the chief agents for mobilising the chemists of the country both for technical service with the Forces and in the production of war material of every description. The Council submit the opinion that the time is opportune for taking steps to secure for the profession of chemistry a position corresponding to that occupied by other learned pro- fessions, and they feel that much would be accomplished towards the attainment of that aim, if, in the first place, adequate and uniform conditions of appointment were accorded to chemists directly engaged in the service of the State.The necessity for a definitely organised Chemical Service (both in peace and war) for all purposes of the State on which the science of chemistry has a bearing has long been recog- nised in the chemical profession, and representations have been made from time to time to ministers of State, Government Commissions and other public authorities. As an example, it may be mentioned that, as the result of representations made by the Institute, the qualifications for appointment of public analysts under the Sale of Food and Drugs Acts have been determined by Regulations framed by the Local Government Boards for England and Wales, Scotland, and Ireland, under which the country has undoubtedly secured the services of a body of chemists highly qualified in that branch of work.It may be pointed out also that the Department of the Government Chemist has been organised under a separate Treasury vote. Other departmental chemical establishments, however, have not been brought into line, and it does not appear that the position of chemists in the Government service generally is sufficiently understood and appreciated to obtain for them that measure of recognition which should be accorded to professional men of this type in the interests of the safety and well-being of the State. The Council of the Institute regard it as a first principle that the Government should take steps to remove the confu- sion (existing in this but in no other country) which arises from the use of the title “ chemist ” by those who practise pharmacy. The Government have already, in effect, recognised the true meaning of the designation ‘‘ chemist ” by applying this title to the “ Government Chemist,” the “ War Department IIhemist,” and the Admiralty Chemist,” who are not pharmacists.The Council feel that in the Government service the title “ chemist ” should be included in the designa- tion applied to all properly qualified chemists,* and that it should not be used in the case of any other appointments. * The expression “ properly qualified ” in this connection should be taken to mean chemists who have attained a standard of competency at least equivalent to that required for the Associateship of the Institute under the Regulations adopted in accordance with the Charter.Briefly the standard adopted for the Associateship of the Institute is that of a universitydegree with first or second class honours in chemistry, including systematic training in physics and allied sciences. This involves a technical training extending over at least four years, and one comparable, therefore, with the training required for other professions. 16 The Civil Service includes chemists engaged in research, in analysis, and in technological work, as well as those employed in educational work. This memorandum relates chiefly to the first three branches. Only persons possessing recognised qualifications should be eligible for appointment as chemists in the Government Chemical Service.Such appointments should be rendered attractive to those who have reached the required standard of efficiency. There should be no confusion between these chemists and their unqualified assistants. The Council suggest- (I) That, as candidates should be required to produce evidence of qualification, the appointment of chemists should be based on a system of selection by properly constituted authority, and not by examination or nomination. (2) That the names of approved candidates should be placed on a short list from which the heads of the respective Government chemical establishments would themselves make the final selection. (3) That persons appointed as chemists should be graded as civil servants in the Higher Division, preferably as members of a professional division, if such be at any time constituted, with status, emoluments and pension comparable with those of the members of other technical and learned professions employed by the Government. (It is further suggested for consideration that pensions should follow the lines of the insurance scheme of the federated universities, which has been adopted by the National Physical Laboratory.) (4) That, dependent on satisfactory service, the system should provide for certainty of promotion (with corresponding advance in emoluments) up to a definite rank, independent of the occurrence of vacancies. (Note.-This is a necessary condition if men of the best type are to be obtained.A chemist should be constantly increasing in efficiency, and this should be recognised by pro- viding for certainty of promotion as suggested, not necessarily 17 to the highest rank, but to one securing an adequate salary to a married man, say, to that of Principal Assistant Chemist in the scale outlined in (5) below.) (5) That suitable titles should be allotted to the different ranks of the Government Chemical Service, in order of seniority as under, the rank held by the head chemist in any establish- ment being determined by the size of the establishment and by the nature of the work carried out :-Chief Chemist, with, in certain cases, a special depart- mental title. Deputy Chief Chemist.Superintending Chemist. Principal Assistant Chemist. Senior Assistant Chemist. Junior Assistant Chemist. (6) That definite salaries and increments should be pre- scribed for all ranks of the Government Chemical Service. (7) That the secondary staff, to whom the title chemist would not be applicable, should be classified as under :-(a) Chemical Assistants (Senior and Junior), who should be men of good education, but without full profes- sional qualification. (On obtaining the latter they would become eligible for appointment as chemists and would acquire the status necessary for presenting themselves to the board of selection referred to above.) (b) Laboratory Assistants (Chief, Senior and Junior), who should be capable of performing simple chemical operations, assisting the chemists in the routine or mechanical parts of their work, fitting up apparatus, etc.(c) Laboratory Attendants (Senior and Junior), who would do the ordinary work of caretaking, cleaning of the laboratory and apparatus, etc., with prospects of promotion to Laboratory Assistant. The Council believe that, apart from the direct advantage 18 to the State which would accrue from such an organisation, the recognition thus given to chemists by His Majesty’s Government would raise the status of the profession of chemistry and incidentally contribute to the advancement of chemical science. Copies of the above memorandum have been sent to all Governmenf Departments to which chemists aye attached.19 Scientific and Industrial Research. The Third Report of the Committee of the Privy Council for Scientific and Industrial Research for the year 1917-18 (Cd. 9144),published at the end of August, deals with the extension of the work of the Department. The Committee have approved of the scheme of research submitted by the Fuel Research Board, under the Directorship of Sir George Beilby, which involves the erection and equip- ment of a Fuel Research Station at an estimated cost of EIZO,OOO. The Committee have assumed responsibility for the maintenance and development of the National Physical Laboratory, and have approved extensions of the Laboratory for the testing of the higher grades of chemical glass and of clinical thermometers.It is noted that all such thermometers must now comply with the specifications drafted by the Ministry of Munitions in consultation with the Local Govern- ment Board and the Research Department. A Food Investigation Board has been established, and a series of investigations has been initiated under its direction. A Research Board has been established to direct investigations into the production of tin and tungsten in Cornwall. The Committee have also sanctioned a series of tests on home-grown timber, having in view the reafforestation of the country after the war. Progress has been made in establishing industrial research associations, in connection with which Parliament was asked to vote a sum of one million sterling as a fund to be expended in grants to such associations over a period of five or six years The Department have guaranteed to the British Scientific Instrument Research AssGciation a sum of E36,ooo for approved research during the next five years, and have E 20 agreed to pay E1,500 a year during the same period to the British Photographic Research Association.The Committee have also promised a yearly contribution of E for E to the British Cotton Industry Research Association and to the British Research Association for the woollen and worsted industry on the condition that the co-operating firms sub- scribe in each case an annual sum of at least E5,ooo. In connection with the administration of the National Physical Laboratory, the Department propose to adopt the Federated Universities’ Insurance Scheme, established by the Board of Education for providing for the superannuation of the staff.21 Examination for the Associateship.

Je mehr freie Phosphorsaure vorhanden ist, desto mehr Eisen bleibt in LGsung. Wird die eisenhaltige Superphosphatlosung auf dem Wasser- bade zur Trockne eingedampft, der Riickstand darauf mit Wasser aufge- nommen, so lost sich derselbe nicht klar auf, es bleibt vielmehr ein starker Niederschlag in der Fliissigkeit bestehen. Dieses hgdratische phosphoreaure Eisenoxyd kann im Superphosphat in einen vollstandig unloslichen Zustand iibergehen, wenn ihm infolge der Auskristallisation des amorphen schwefel- s auren Kalkes das Konstitutionswasser entzogen wird : FeP04, 2Hz0 + CaSO, = CaS04,2H20 + FeP04.Hiernach ist es auch erklarlich, d ass man schlecht aufgeschlossenes Superphosphat nach einigen Wochen bzw. zuriickgegangenes Super-phosphat nicht mehr durch weiteren Saurezusatz verbessern kann ; man erhiilt hierdurch nur eine nasse, schmierige Ware, da diese Skure sich dem Gips zugesellt, wodurch CaH3(S0& entsteht.

He was transferred from the University of London O.T.C. to an Officer Cadet Battalion, from which he was commissioned in the Border Regiment, leaving for the Front in October, 1917.On his death, his commanding officer wrote to his parents :--" He was a keen officer, liked by his men and brother officers, full of dash and courage. I considered him one of the best, if not the best subaltern in the Battalion. For gallantry in a previous action, I recommended him for the Military Cross, and his name was published in Divisional Orders just after his death, as having been awarded this decoration. He showed a splendid example to his men at all times of danger and was a loss to the battalion. You may well be proud of your son." RICHARD JOHN HALL died at Wallasey on June 21st, 1917, in his fifty-third year.

He also served as a member of the Board of Examiners of the Pharmaceutical Society. At the outbreak of war he endeavoured to enlist, but was repeatedly declined. He became a special constable and a volunteer in the Inns of Court Reserve Corps, until he succeeded in joining as a private the Sportsmen’s Battalion of the Royal Fusiliers, from which he was transferred, when “ men with training in chemiqtry ” were in demand for service with the Royal Engi- neers. He was about to proceed to France, but his joining a draft was accidentally delayed, and Colonel Sir W.H. Horrocks, at that time head of the anti-gas service, then secured his assistance, He received a commission as Lieutenant on the general list and became engaged on anti-gas problems. He is said to have been responsible for the organisation for supplying the British and certain of the Allied Armies with nearly fifty million respirators to provide adequate protection against gas attacks. In this work he was assisted by many Fellows of the Institute. His services were recognised by his speedy promotion to the rank of Lieut-.Colonel, by the bestowal of the order of the C.M.G. and his appointment as an oficer of the Legion of Honour.

ALFRED GORDON SALAMON died April gth, 1918, in his sixtieth year. After some experience in the draughtsman office of Messrs. Yarrow at Poplar, he entered the Royal Clollege of Science in 1878, and studied chemistry under Sir Edward Frankland, biology under Huxley, and geology under Judd, taking the diploma A.R.S.M. in 1882. Two years later he began practice in a laboratory at his father’s house at Clapham Park, and in 1886 moved to Fenchurch Avenue, wherc he continued until his death. While yet a student he devised a method of clarifying brewer’s waste beer, rendering it suitable for blending with other beer, and in the course of time he became consultant to many well-known brewing companies and firms.In 1888 he delivered a series of four Cantor lectures on “ Yeast ” before the Society of Arts, and in the following year a lecture on the same subjectbefore the Royal Institution. In conjunction with W. E. B. de V. Mathew,he contributed in 1885 a paper on “ The Influence of Phosphate on Fer- menting Worts,” and with E. N. Goldie, in 1900, a paper on “ The Manufac- ture of Caramel.” In collaboration with Dr. J. J. Hood, he patented a process for desulphuring coal gas by the use of Weldon mud and scvcral processes in connection with the manufacture of cyanides. He devoted his attention also to the industrial uses of ozone and other technological matters. He was a Past President and Hon. Foreign Secretary of the Institute of Brewing, and served as a Vice-president and Member of Council of the Society of Chemical Industry, of which society he was also for two years Chairman of the London Section.For his services to chemical technology he was awarded the distinction of Chevalier of the Legion of Honour.

ALFRED SENIER died at Galway on June 29th, 1918, in his sixty- sixth year. Born at Burnley, he received his scientific education at the Universities of Wisconsin, Michigan, where he graduated in medicine in 1873, and Berlin, where he obtained the degree of Ph.D., and was for some time research student with A.W. von Hofmann (1884-87). From 1874 to 1882, he was demonstrator and assistant in Chemistry under Attfield at the School of the Pharmaceutical Society, and from 1881 to 1884 chemical lecturer at St. John’s College, Battersea. In 1890 he acted as Zocuin Ienens to Maxwell Simpson at Cork, and in 1891 was appointed to the chair of chemistry in Queen’s College (now University College), Galway, which position, with that of Lecturer on Medical Jurisprudence and Hygiene, he held at the time of his death. He was a Member of the Senate of the National University of Ireland since 1908, and received the degree of D.Sc. (Honoris Causa) from the Royal University. In 1912 he was President of the Chemical Section of the British Association.His research work, mainly on organic chemistry, was usually contributed to the Transactions of the Chemical Society. He was also the author of essays on educational and other subjects. He was elected a Fellow of the Institute in 1878. ~NDLIEUT. JAMES SALSBURY SMITH was reported missing November 30th, 1917, and was buried by the enemy on December 17th. He was educated at Cavendish School, Illatlock, and Pannal Ash College, Harrogate, and subsequently became registered as a student of the Institute under Mr. John White, of Derby. At the time of his death he held a commission in the Loyal North Lancashire Regiment, and was in his twentieth year. FREDERICK WILLIAN STREATBEILD, who died in London on March 24th, 1918, in his sixtieth year, received his earliest training in science in private laboratories.Specialising in organic chemistry, he collaborated with Messrs. Nevile and Winther at Wellingore, Lincolnshire, in their researches on orientation in the benzene and naphthalene series. This work led to the preparation of a-naphthol-4-sulphonic acid (the so-called Nevile and Winther acid), since employed in the production of several impor- tant azo-dyes. Streatfeild subsequently gained a scholarship at the Royal College of Science, London, and in 1882 worked with Professor Japp on certain condensation products of ketones. In the following year he was appointed Junior Demonstrator in the Chemical Department of the City and Guilds Technical College, Finsbury, when he began his long career as a teacher of applied chemistry.He continued his work as original investigator first with Professor Armstrong and then with Professor Meldola, the results being published in fourteen memoirs to the Transactions of the Chemical Society and other scientific periodicals. In the course of time he received promotion and finally held the post of chief assistant in the Department of Applied Chemistry. He was the author of a short treatise on “ Practical Work in Organic Chemistry.” It is to be regretted, however, that much of his highly specialised knowledge of proximate organic analysis has passed away with him. The services which he rendered as a teacher of chemistry won him the esteem and affection of several generations of Finsburystudents, who have already shown their appreciation of their former teacher’s worth and work by contributing to a fund for the institution of a Streatfeild memorial lecture and prize for practical chemistry.This discourse will be delivered annually at the City and Guilds College by a past Finsbury chemical student. He was elected a Fellow of the Institute in 1890. 30 FELLOWS,ASSOCIATES, STUDENTS AND CANDIDATES FOR EXAMINATION WHOARE SERV- ING OR WHO HAVE SERVED WITH H.M.FORCES.
