Aconitum chinense.  

The arranging of the entire collection according to Bentham and Hooker's "Genera Plantarum" as mentioned in last month's report has been finished and it is hoped, that in a few days as soon as all of the labels have been placed under the specimens, the exhibit will present a freshened appearance.

The physiological investigation of the effects of the antipyretics (resorcin, kairin, hydro-chinon, antipyrin, thallin) has been completed and experiments with other drugs are still under way.

Very respectfully, 
H.G. Beyer,
Curator Mat. Med. Section.
