In some previous work, on the pansy, the author found that he wasable to detect this substance by means of a solution of methylene blue. Sincethen he has applied the test to various specimens and found it to be quite char-acteristic. A Note on the Common Names of Plants, by Prof. J. U. Lloyd, was readby Professor Trimble. (See page 234.) This subject was the occasion for con-siderable discussion. Professor Trimble said that many instances could becited where plants have more scientific names than common names, whichfurnishes another reason for using the common names. Professor Kraemer said that he saw no chance to lessen the number of syn-onyms while so many separate schools of taxonomy exist. Others taking part in the discussion were the chairman, Professor Lowe andMr. E. M. Fig. I—Pharmaceutical Sieve, with the several parts detached. A new form of pharmaceutical sieve was exhibited by Professor Trimble, inbehalf of the inventor, J. Frank Strawiuski, , a member of the recentgraduating class. The writer stated, in his description of the apparatus, thatthe idea of producing a sieve which would lessen the liability to contaminationof powdered drugs was suggested to him while attending the lectures on com-minution. The accompanying illustrations show the several parts of the sievein Fig. /, and in Fig. 2 its appearance when these are put together for body or frame of the sieve is made of brass, which is tinned on the innersurface. At the base of the frame is a coarse threading, and over this a collarcontaining the sieve-plate is screwed. On the exterior of the collar are fivefinger-holds, so that it may be adjusted quite firmly. The sieve-plates are madeseparately, and, in adjusting the apparatus, all that is nece
