    No. 60, wliich in the sieves employed by pharmacl.Hts in- dicate the numl)cr of parallel wires of the usual thickness, included in a length of 2-54 centimetres (1 inch), in either transverse direction. It has not been thought desirable to describe, in the Pharmacop(X)ia, various pharmaceutical devices which have been introduced in recent years for the more easy adminis- tration of medicines. When so directed by the prescribcr, the drugs of the Pharmacopoeia may be dispensed in non- official forms such as capsules, cachets, granules, compressed discs or tablets, and the hke ; but the drugs themselves, in all such cases, must respond to the official characters and tests. In selecting additions to the Pharmacopoeia, and in deciding on the omission of articles contained in the Pharmacopoeia of 1898, the Council has received important aid from the following Authorities : The Royal College of Physi- The University of London cians of London The Victoria University of The Royal College of Surgeons Manchester of England The University of Birmingham The Apothecaries' Society of The University of Liverpool London The University of Leeds The University of Cambridge The Royal College of Physi- The University of Durham cians of Edinburgh The Royal College of Surgeons The Royal College of Physi- of Edinburgh cians of Ireland The Royal Faculty of Physi- The Royal College of Sur- cians and Surgeons of Glasgow geons in Ireland Tlio University of Edinburgh The Apothecaries' Hall of Tho University of Glasgow Ireland The University of Aberdeen Tho University of Dublin The University of St Andrews The Council has also been aided, as regards the inclu- sion or omission of articles contained in the Pharmacopoeia of 1898, by several independent inquiries as to the fre- quency with which the various official preparations have actually been prescribed in different localities.
