Sir,
During the month of May 192 specimens (No. 52031 to 52222) were entered in the Materia Medica Catalogue.  They were all received from Schieffelin Heo., many of them being duplicated from the Museum of the Pharmaceutical Society London.  I am informed that S. Heo have furnished specimens of nearly all the crude drugs on their lists.  They will add from time to time, however, anything new that may come to hand and any preparations which they keep in stock, that may be desired.  About 350 labels have been prepared for the printer and turned over to the Asst. Director.
