In reference to the regulaLions for the admission to the Sssociateship of Students of the Institute who are engaged in the practice of Chemistry in the labordory of a Fellow of the Institute, it being the intention of the Conncil that no student shall be admitted to the Associateship without hnviiig passed through a course of coritinuous systematic study, they have resolved that no Course of Tlectnres or other forms of inetrnction in Chemistry or Physics be recogiiised as a part of the curriculum prescribed for candidates for the Associateship, unless given in the daytiiiie by the Professor of the subject in oue of the recognised institutions, or in the case of laboratory Tvork, by duly appointed assistants acting under the supervision of the Professor ; and iiiiless at tlie same time sufficient evidence is afforded by tlie can- didate that during the period of attendance upon such instruc- tion, the whole of his time has been occupied in study or laboratory 6 practice, either in a recognised College, or, in the case of Students wiio are pupils of a Fellow of the Institute, partly in a recognised College aad partly in the laboratory of such Fellow.CONFERENCE. In their last Annual Report, the Council informed the Members that two Sessional Neetings would be held during the year for the discussion of topics of interest to professional chemists. The first of these Neetings took place on May 12th and 13th, when four papers nerr read, namely :-“On the Relation of the Chemical Society to Professional Chemistry,” by Dr. Odling, F.R.S. L‘ The Analytical Chemiet in Relation to the Public, the Profession, and the Institute,” by Illr. Otto Hehner. ‘(On the Training Requisite for Professional Chemists,” by Dr. C. R. A. Wright, F.R.S. “The best Training for an Analytical Chemist,” by Mr. F. T. Lloyd. The reading of the several papers mas folloned by an animated discussion.EXANINATIOK IN PRACTICBL CHEMISTRY. The Examination in Practical Chemistry, which was held 0x1 July 13th and following days, was conducted by the Board of Examiners, namely :-Dr. TIr. W. J. NICOL ............... Birmingham. Professor W,N. HARTLEY,F.R,S. Dublin. Dr. E. J. MILLS,F.R.S. ............ Glasgow. Nr. T. FAIRLEY..................... Leeds. Ifr. WATSOX SSYITH,................ Manchester. 7 Examinations were held at five centres, namely, Birmingham, Dublin, Glasgow, Leeds, and London, and in accordance with the regulations relating to the production of note books, the candidates sent them, accompanied by the Professor’s certificate that the work contained in them had been performed under his supervision, or that of his assistants, These, as a rule, were well kept, and a decided improvement on those presented last year.The number of cmdidates who entered was 22, and they all presented themselves for Examination, namely, 15 at London, 3 at Birmingham, 2 at Leeds, 1 at Dublin, and 1 at Glasgow. Of these 20 passed the Examination in a satisfactory manner, and the following List contains their names, and that of the centres at which they were examined. Mr. J. BURTON .....................

Those in Qualitative Bnalysis comprised-(I) An alloy containing copper, tin, and a small quantity of zinc.(2) 9solution containing iron (ferric), cobalt, strontium, arid nitric, phosphoric and hydrocliloric acids. (8) The candidates were also reqnired to prepare aiiiline oxalate, to determine tlie solubility of the oxalate in nater at 2oo, and to convert a portion of the oxalate into oxanilide. In Quantitative Analysis the folloivirig exercises rrere set :-1. Estimation of the aiiiouiit of copper and iron iu a sample of copper pyrites. 2. One of the tiyo following :-(a) Estimation of the amount of awilable oxygen ”I* in a sample of pyrolusite. (b) Determinations of the aniount of calcium oxide (CaO) and of carbonic anhydride (GO,) in a sample of calcium cnrbonate (Iceland Spar was used in fine ponder).3. To determine the aniount of nitrogen in a niixtnre of urea and sugar, by burning it with soda lime. An analysis of the wrk slioivs that the qualitative exercises this year have been done far better by tlie candidates than last year ; more care being taken in the separations. The quantitative vork has been well done, with the exception of the combustion ; this is to be acconnted for to a great extent by the difficulty in burning the mixture of urea and sugar, too little time having been taken to burn it properly.
