They do this on the ground that Dr. Mastin is not a member of the Association; and that it seems of doubtful propriety to tax the Association to publish the productions of persons who contribute nothing to its support, when it is with difficulty that the funds of the Association can be so managed as to pay for the papers prepared by its own members.

All of which is respectfully submitted, This volume of the Transactions contains several minor errors which every one can correct for himself. The two following need more special attention: Page 70, 16th line from bottom, for "On the Diseases of Selma and vicinity, by C. J. Clark, M. D," read "On the Surgery of Selma and vicinity, by A. S. Garnett, M. D." Page 81-bottom-the Committee on National Medical College should read as follows: Drs. J. S. Weatherly, E. D. McDaniel, and J. M. Williams.
