    REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THE PHARMA- COPEIA. BY EDWARD R. SQUIBB, M.D., CHAIRMAN. At the Eleventh Annual Meeting of the Association, held in Boston, in Sept., 18G3, the following preamble and resolution were adopted: '• Whereas, it is desirable that during the interval between the decen- nial revisions of the Pharmacopoeia there may be some repository in this Association for the information and knowledge resulting from prolonged practical use of the officinal formulas ; and some members whose particu- lar duty it may be to observe during this interval what additions or omis- sions might be usefully made in the next easuing revision, therefore, Resolved, That a permanent Committee on the Pharmacopoeia, to con- sist of three members, be appointed to keep a current commentary upon the Pharmacopoeia, and a record of all useful criticisms and suggestions that may be made upon it while in practical use, with a direct view to its future revision; and that the Chairman of this Committee may, at his option, report an abstract of such information as he may gain, at the an- nual meetings of the Association. And, finally, that members generally be requested to communicate to the Chairman any information or sug- gestions bearing upon the duties of the Cominittee. In pursuance of this resolution the President appointed E. 11. Squibb, Wni. Procter, Jr., and Alfred B. Taylor to constitute this Committee. See Proc. Amer. Pharm. Asso. for 1863, pp. ■12, et seq.
