HE Council of the Institute have met 8 times since the T Annual General Meeting.There have also been 24 Meetings of various Committees. EXAMINATIONS AND REGULATIONS. The Council have received the Reports of the Examiners on the Examinations held in July. About two-thirds of the Candidates were successful, a proportion slightly above the average. On this occasion, for the first time, the Intermediate Examination was held in Glasgow as well as in London, and the thanks of the Council have been accorded to Professor John Millar Thomson for undertaking the control of the prac- tical part of the Examination, to the Authorities of the Glasgow and IV-est of Scotland Technical College for the use of the Chemical Laboratories of the College, and to Professor G. G. Henderson for making the general arrangements and giving his services during the Examination. The thanks of the Council have also been tendered to the Board of Education for allowing the Examination in Assaying, in the Final Examination in Metallurgical Chemistry, to be conducted in the Metallurgical Laboratory of the Royal College of Science, and to Professor William Gowland for special services in connection with this Examination.The Council have also received a Report from the Examiner in Therapeutics, Pharmacology, and Microscopy, on an Examination held on the 11th July. In view of the increasing application of bacteriological methods to investigations connected with water supply and sewage treatment, the Council have taken steps to encourage chemists to undertake the systematic study of Bacteriology and Biological Chemistry.The Examination in Biological Chemistry, hitherto Branch of the Final Examination, will, in future, be open to Fellows and Associates of the Institute who desire to obtain a certificate of competency in this branch of work. ,4n Examination in Biological Chemistry was held at the Laboratory of the Institute, from the 20th to the 23rd of October. The Senate of the Royal University of Ireland kindly consented to allow the Institute the use of their Laboratories in DJlslin for an Examination of Candidates trained in Ireland. The Examination was arranged to take place in July, but no Candidate entered. The Council, after considering the courses for the .!!sso-ciateship of the Royal School of Mines, have adopted the following regulation :-That Assxiates of the Royal School of Mines in Metallurgy, who have passed an approved Preliminary Examination, and have, since obtaining the Diploma, been systematically trained in Chemktry, for six months, in the Laboratories of the Royai College of Scienc3, London, or in some other University or College recognised by the Institute, be accepted as eligible for election to the Associateship of the Institute, on passing an Examination in General, Theoretical and Practical Chemistry.5 It has been represented to the Council that Authorities in India experience, from time to time, considerable difficulty in securing the services of properly trained and competent chemists.The Council recognise that the Institute might advantageously afford assistance in promoting the education and examination of chemists for appointment under the Indian Government, and have, therefore, suggested to the Authorities of the India Office the advisability of maintaining in India a staff of fully qualified chemists to carry out analytical and consulting work, which has hitherto been entrusted chiefly to officers of the Indian Medical Service. The Council are prepared to consider applications for the recognition of Indian Universities and Colleges, and will endeavour to hold in India examinations for Candidates who have complied with the Regulations, provided always that the proper conduct of such examinations can be as fully guaranteed as in the Laboratories of the Institute.The Council have appointed Dr. F. D. Chattaway and Professor J. Millar Thomson, Vice-presidents, to represent the Institute, at a Conference to be held on Friday, 4th December nest, at the Offices of the Board of Education, South Kensing- ton, to consider the question whether it is desirable and feasible to institute for Secondary Schools in this country a general system of Leaving Examinations of such a nature as to be acceptable in lieu of the preliminary examinations now required for admission to the various professional bodies. The House Conimittee have had before them the question of the further equipment of the Laboratories of the Institute for Metallurgical work, and, on their recommendation, the Council have decided to provide apparatus for the electrolytic determination of metals.c FINANCE. The Members were informed, in Pyoceediizgs, Part II., that a Special Committee had been appointed to consider the desirability of taking steps to replace, in the case of Members elected in the future, the payment of an Annual Subscription, by the payment of a capital sum in two or more instalments. The Committee were also instructed by the Council to consider and report on the question of Examination Fees. The Committee recommended the Council to take no steps at present to enforce the payment of life compositions. They suggested, however, that the Council might consider the advisability of introducing a scale of composition Fees, and, in view of the increasing work and expense on behalf of Students and Candidates, they recommended the following alterations in Examination Fees, to be enforced in the cases of all Candidates who are not registered as Students, or accepted as Candidates for examination, before the 1st day of January, 1904 :-T.The Fee for the Intermediate Examination to be raised fron L3 3s. to A5 5s. 2. The Fee for the Final Examination to be raised from L4 4s. to &5 5s. for Candidates who have passed the Intermediate Examination, and from L7 7s. to LIO 10s. for Candidates exempted from passing the Intermediate Esamination. 3. The Fee for any Candidate (not previously an Associate) esamined for the Fellowship to be raised to A15 15s.4. The acceptance of reduced fees for a second entry at any Examination to be discontinued. The full fee to be payable for every entry, except in the cases of Candidates for the Final Examination who have been exempted from the Intermediate Examination, and Candidates examined for the Fellowship, in which cases the Fee to be Lj 5s. for every entry after the first. 5. Candidates (not previously Associates) elected to the Fellowship without Examination to be required to pay the full Fee for examination for the Fellowship (LIj 15s.) in addition to the Entrance Fee (L55s.). 7 The Council have adopted the above, and a circular giving notice of the alterations has been issued to Fellows, Associates, and Students, and to the Institutions recognised by the Council.On the recommendation of the Finance Committee, they have further adopted the following Regulations as to Life Compositions :-(a) Fellows elected prior to the granting of the Charter (June, IS&), to have the choice of compounding at F12 I~s.,or at the amount prescribed below according to age. (b) Fellows elected prior to January Ist, 1902, and Associates elected Fellows prior to December 31st, 1905, to have the choice of compounding at L16 16s., or at the amount prescribed below according to age. (c) Non-Associates elected Fellows after January Ist, 1902, and all Fellows elected after December 31st, 1905,to have the choice of compounding at L21.,or at the amount prescribed below according to age.Between the ages of .. 50 and j2 ..

The Council have continued to watch the proceedings of authorities in connection with public appointments of a chemical nature. The Board of Agriculture and the Local Government Board have, particularly of late, used their in- fluence to enforce a better administration of the Sale of Food and Drugs Acts.The local authorities, however, in following the advice of the Government Departments to take more samples for analysis, have, in several instances, generally with a view to economy, endeavoured to make a change in the appointment of their Public Analyst. It will be satisfactory to the members to note that the Local Government Board have invariably declined to sanction the removal of a com-petent Analyst. The attentip of the Council has been directed to the formation of an Association of Public Analysts in Scotland, having as its chief objects the maintenance of a high standard of professional conduct and the proper administration of the Sale of Food and Drugs Acts. The Council have espressed their sympathy with the objects for which the Association has been formed.-~ _._______ During the last two years, efforts have been made to protect titles (such as ‘‘F.I.C.” and ‘‘A.I.C.”) granted after examination by professional Institutions, and, to this end, the co-operation of other professional Bodies incorporated by Royal Charter has been secured. Early in 1901,the Institutions of Civil Engineers, Mechanical Engineers, Naval Architects, Electrical Engineers, and the Iron and Steel Institute, appointed an Engineering Standards Committee to introduce into this country a national system, including the preparation of Standard Specifications for Engineering works and of standard sections of rolled iron and steel, and the standardisation of parts of locomotives and of Electrical appliances.The work of the Committee has been aided by a Government Grant and by contributions from the above institutions and from many of the leading manufac- turers. No fewer than 27 Committees have been at work during the last three years, and the results promise to be of great value and importance. In April last, the Engineering Standards Committee referred to the Council of the Institute a letter which they had received, suggesting that the Committee should formulate standards of purity for the chemicals used in the analysis of materials. The Council replied that they did not consider the matter was one with which the Institute should deal. They pointed out to the Committee that competent analysts test the chemicals they employ, the standard of purity required varying according to the nature of the investigation in hand. Subsequently, the Council were asked to nominate a Fellow to represent the Institute on the Sub-committee appointed to deal with the question of the Standardisation of Cement tests, and Rlr.Bertram Blount was appointed. OBITUARY. Professor Wrrma>r HENRYCORFIELDdied, in his sixtieth Fear, on the 27th August, at Narstrand, Sweden. He was educated at Cheltenhain, and at Magdslen College, Oxford. He took a first-elms in the Final Honour School of Natural Science at Oxford, and obtained a Medical Fellowship at Pembrolie College. He also studied in Paris and Lyons. In 1868, he was elected the first Professor of Hygiene and Public Health at University Cdlege, London.In 1871, he mas appointed BIedical Officer of Health for Islington ; in 1872, Medical Officer of Health for St. George's, Hanover Square ; and in 1899, Consulting Sanitary Adviser to H.M. Office of IT-orlis.

He was also an enthnsiastic geologist and palzontologist. He was an original Fellow of the Institute. COLLIKSEVERSONHENRY died at Herne Hill, on the 5th July, at the age of sixty.Originally educated as a druggist, at Maidstone and afterwards in London, he passed the qualifying examination of the Pharmaceutical Society in 1865, and subsequently studied chemistry at Finsbury Technical College. He was connected with the firm of Messrs. Hopkin CPL: Williams for thirty-nine years, during the last nine of which he innanaged this business for Messrs. Howards Ce. Sons. He was well known to pharmaceutical and manufacturing chemists. Throughout his career he paid much attention to photographic chemistry. He was elected a Fellow of the Institute in 1888. THONAS LAWSON,ATEINSON B.Sc.(Lond.), Ph.D.(Marburg), died at Hamp- stead, on the 2nd of June, at the age of forty-one years. He was trained at University College, London, under Professor Williamson, and in Germany under Professors Baeyer, Fischer, and Zincke. He was assistant to Zincke for two years, and conjointly with him contributed several papers to the “Berichte” and “ Annalen.” He subsequently was engaged as a chemist in the laboratories of Messrs.Brooke, Simpson, and Spiller, where he remained until his death. For about ten years he undertook the ab5tracting of papers and patents relating to colour chemistry for the Journal of the Society of Chemical Industry. He was elected a Fellow of the Institute in 1887, and was a Member of Council from 1898 to 1901. JAXES died in London, on the 3rd of June, at the age of fifty- MACTEAF. eight years. Trained in the laboratory of the late Dr.Wallace, of Glasgow, he became Assistant Manager in the works of Mr. E. C. C. Stanford, with whom he was associated in a process for the preparation of iodine from sea-weed ; he also introduced a method for the recovery of bromine. Subsequently, he was appointed Assistant Manager to Messrs. C. A. Allhausen Son, at Newcastle-on-Tyne, with whom he remained three years. Iu 1 W7, he became Manager and, two years later, a partner in the firin of Meesrs. Charles Tennnnt (a: Co. of St. Rollox. In 1884, he retired from the firm and started a practice in London as a Consulting Chemical Engineer. He took out many patents for processes and plant, particularly in connection with the manufacture of barium and strontium chlorides, and was the author of numerous contributions to technical and scientific journals.In 1871i, he wag awarded the Silver Medal of the Society of Arts, for his paper on “New Methods in Alkali Manufactwe.” In 1S78, he was appointed a Juror at the Paris Exhibition. In 18S5. he obtained the Graham Gold Medal for Chemical Research. He was a Past President of the Royal Philosophical Society of Glasgow, a, Past President of the Institution of Mining and Metallurgy, and an Associate-Member of the Institution of Civil Engineers. He was also a Colonel in the 5th Lanark liifle Volunteers. He mas an original Fellow of the Institute, ad served as a Member of Council from 1882 to 1884. SI~IPSDN aBARNARD PROCTOR,distinguished pharmacist, died at West- bury-on-Trym, near Bristol, on September 22nd, at the age of seventy-six.He was the son of William Proctor, of Newcastle-on-Tyne, with whom he entered into partnership in 1858, and qualified as a Member of the l’liarma-ceutical Society in 1857. He was one of the founders of the Pharinaceuticnl Conference in 1863, a Member of the Council of the Pharmaceutical Society from lP63-64, and a Member of the Board of Examiners of that Society from 1867-69. In 1869, he became Lecturer on Pharmacy in the College of Medicine at Newcastle-on-Tyne, and, subsequently, he was Locitl Secretary 11 of the Pharmaceutical Society for many years, retiring from that office in 1879. In 1883, he was elected the first chairman of the Newcastle Section of the Society of Chemical Industry.He was a frequent contributor to pharmaceutical literature, and his books, ‘* Lectures on Pharmacy ” and ‘‘ A Manual of Pharmaceutical Testing ” (1890), are well known. He was elected a Fellow of the Institute in 1888. REDDBOPJOSEPH died at Sound, near Nantwich, on the 12th of Nay last, at the age of fifty-five years. He entered the service of the London and North-Western Railway Company :ts an apprentice at the Crewe Works, in October, 1663, and at the same time commenced to study chemistry. He was for a short period at the Royal School of Mines. In October, 1867, he became an assistant in the chemical laboratory of the Company, and three years later, he was appointed Chief Chemist, a position which he held until his retirement, owing to declining health, in October, 1899.He was elected a Fellow of the Institute in 1878. He was well known as a Metallurgical chemist, particularly in connection with an improved method for the estimation of manganese in steel. GEORGE ROBERTSONHJWRY CROUWELL died at Hampstead, on July 5th 1903, at the age of forty-four. Educated at Wellington and Sandhurst, he was gazetted to the West Yorkshire Regiment in January, 1878, and soon after left for India. At the end of 1879, however, he was compelled by illness to resign his commission. He turned his attention to electrical engineering, and joined the Hanover Square School in 1885. Subsequently, he studied chemistry at the Central Technical College, at Finsbury Technical College, rind with Dr.A. Wynter Blyth, and, in 1890, he passed the Exam- inatioa for the Associateship of the Institute. He became well known for his work in connection with the theory of secondaiy batteries, and carried out experiments on the batteries of the General Post Office, the results being embodied in two papers communicated to the Royal Society. In 1891, he read a paper on Secondary Batteries before the Society of Arts and was awarded a silver medal, and in the following year he delivered EL course of lectures on the same subject at Finsbury Technical College. In Narch, 1892, he was appointed Regishar and Secretary of the Institute of Chemistry, and did excellent work until the close.of 1893,when he was taken seriously ill. The following year he became blind, and was obliged to tender his resignation, which the Council accepted with much sympathy and regret.His short term of office, during the presidency of Dr. Tilden, marked an important period in the history of the Institute. In their Report for 1833-94, the Council placed on record their appreciation of his valnable services and of his faithful and energetic discharge of his duties. In spite of continued ill-health, he was able for nine years to undertake abstracting for the Journal of the Society of Chemical Industry, and to contribute to electrical journals.

LUFF, The Examinations were divided into two periods of four days each, the first beginning on July 7th and the second on July 14th, 1903. The earlier period was devoted to Candi- dates for the Intermediate Examination and for Branch ‘‘ E ” of the Final Examination, and the later period to Candidates in Branches ‘‘ A,” “ B,” and ‘‘ D ” of the Final Examination for the Associateship. Fifty-eight Candidates entered their names for these Ex- aminations, and fifty-five presented themselves-forty-eight at the Laboratories of the Institute, and seven (each taking the Intermediate Examination) at the Laboratories of the Glasgow and West of Scotland Technical College.The numbers of Candidates in each Branch and the numbers of those who passed are shown in the following table :-KO. of Canditlates h-0.of Candidates examined. passed.Intermediate Examination .. .. .. 25 ..

In the practical part of the Examination, the quantitative work, as a whole, was well done, but the qualitative work was less satis- factory, and in view of a similar report in January last, the Examiners think it would be well if Cacdidates paid more attention to qualitative analysis. In Branch ‘‘ A ” (Mineral Chemistry) of the Final Exami- nation, the qualitative analysis of a mineral was not carried out as well as it should have been, but the quantitative work was on the whole satisfactory. In the mineral analysis, constituents were occasionally overlooked or in some cases inadequately identified.Six Candidates in this Branch sent in theses connected with their work. In Branch ‘‘ B ” (Metallurgical chemistry), the Examina- tion in Assaying was conducted in the Metallurgical Laboratory of the Royal College of Science, and, under the new regulation of the Council, the assistance of Professor Gowland was secured. The work was rather uneven: the Candidates showed some weakness in the crucible assaying, but were more familiar with the methods of steel analysis. In Branch ‘(D ” (Organic Chemistry) the work was satis- factory on the whole, and, as attention has been called in previous reports to insufficiency of training in the use of the polarimeter, the Examiners are glad to say that on this occasion the exercise on sugar analysis was well done by most of the Candidates.Three Candidates presented theses containing the results of original work. In Brafich “ E ” (Analysis of Food and Drugs, and of Water), three of the four Candidates were successful in passing the Examination, including the subjects of Therapeutics, Pharmacology, and Microscopy. 14 Seven of the Candidates for the Intermediate Examination were on this occasion examined in the Laboratories of the Glasgow and West of Scotland Technical College, simul- taneously with the Candidates for the same Examination in London.

The Examiner reported that eight Candidates entered their names for this Examination ; seven presented themselves including one Fellow, two Associates, and four Candidates in Branch ‘‘ E ” of the Final Examination (the Analysis of Food and Drugs, and of 1Vater). The Examination consisted of practical exercises in Rlicroscopy and a paper in Therapeutics and Pharmacology.The Candidates were also examined vivj voce in the recognition of drugs and poisonous chemicals. The following Fellow and Associates are recommended for the Special Certificate in these subjects :-Angus Smith, F.I.C., Joseph Arthur Brown, A.I.C., Robert Mzcfarlane Clark, BSc., A.I.C. Candidates in Branch “ E ” of the Final Examination are required to pass this Examination in order to take their L4sso-ciateship. Three of the four Candidates were successful, and are dealt with in the Report of the Examiners in Chemistry.PAPERS AND EXERCISES SET AT THE JULY EXAMINATIONS, 1903. Intermediate Examination.

Exnitiiner : ADRIANJOHN BROWN,M.Sc. (Birm.), F.I.C. Two Candidates presented themselves for the above Examination : an Associate desiring to qualify in Biological Chemistry according to the recent Regulation of the Council, and a Candidate for the Associateship in Branch ‘‘ F ” of the Final Examination.The Examination extended over four days, and consisted of practical exercises in (I.) bacteriological methods as related to water supply and sewage, (11.) the microscopical exam-ination of micro-organisms, (111.) methods of working with and identifying vegetable enzymes, (IV.) methods for the identification and quantitative determination of the carbo- hydrates. The Candidates were also examined orally on subjects connected with their work. It was recognised that some of the exercises which were set in bacteriology could not be carried to full conipletion during the time of the Esam-ination, but in such cases it was pointed out to the Candidates that they must proceed as though they had time to finish the exercises, and that their work would be valued accordingly.The Bacteriological work of the Candidates was good, and their work with the enzymes, considering the difficulty which appears to exist at present in obtaining instruction in this most important branch of Biological Chemistry, was carried out in a very intelligent manner. The carbo-hydrate work was, on the whole, done fairly well. Thomas Macara, .lssociate of the Institute, was recom-mended for a Certificate in Biological Chemistry; and John hugustus Herman Brincker, E.A. (Cape of Good Hope), B.A., M.E., D.P.H. (Cantab.), M.R.C.S., L.R.C.P., was recommended for election to the Associateship of the Institute.22 During the examination the Examiners in General Chemistry visited the Laboratories of the Institute, and questioned the Candidate for the Associateship as to his knowledge of General Chemistry. They discussed his work with the Examiner in Biological Chemistry, and expressed their concurrence in his recommendation that the Candidate should be elected an Associate of the Institute. The following exercises were given :-TUESDAY, OCTOBER 20TH, 1903: I0 A.M. TO 4.30 P.M. I. Determine the number of micro-organisms contained in the given sample of contaminated water, and also examine for the presence of B. coli-comniunis. 2. Examine the given sample of garden soil for the pre- sence of spore-forming anaerobic bacteria.(NoTE.-These exercises may be continued throughout the Examination, but you must give in your note-book to-day a brief account of what you propose to do in order to complete the exercise.) TVEDISESDAY, OCTOBER 2IST, 1903 : I0 A.M. TO 4.30 P.M. Examine the given sample of fungus for the presence of the enzymes, lipase, invertase, and laccase. (Specimens of Polyporus squamosus and Agaricus arvensis were given.) (NoTe.-'I'his exercise may be continued throughout the Examination, but you must give in your note-book to-day an account of what you propose to do.) THURSDAY,OCTOBER 22ND, 1903 : I0 A.M. TO 4.30 P.M. I. The dried yeast given contains the enzyme maltase. Demonstrate its action on maltose (in the presence of toluol as an antiseptic) quantitatively by means of the polariscope. Confirm the formation of dextrose by a cupric oxide reduction determination and by the preparation of its osazone and the determination of the melting point of this body.(NoTE,-This exercise may be completed to-morrow, Lut you must give in your note-book to-day a brief account of what you propose to do.) 25 2. Continue the first and second days’ exercises as re- quired. FRIDAY,OCTOBER 23RD, 1903 : I0 A.M. TO 4.30 P.M. I. Examine the pure cultures of the organisms supplied, and report fully on your examination. (Cultures of Sarcina lutea, Schizo-saccharomyces octosporus, a mucer, and a spore-forming bacterium were supplied.) Include in your exarnina- tion a measure of the dimensions of the organisms.Snbmit any stained or other preparations you make to the Examiner for inspection. 2. Complete as far as possible the exercises commenced on the first, second, and third days of this Examination. The Library.
