This report contains the transactions of the scientific sessions, min utes of meetings, and membership lists. T h e first part of the program was a symposium on glaucoma dealt with by six writers from the point of view of etiology, symptomatology, treatment, the Bengal epidemic of dropsy glaucoma, and gonioscopy. Epidemic dropsy glaucoma is one of the main ocular complications of epidemic dropsy. It was first recog nized by Maynard in Calcutta in 1 9 0 8 . T h e incidence increased greatly until 1 9 3 5 . It is a primary chronic noninflammatory glaucoma. The topics of the other 2 3 papers on the program are as varied as one would expect when a large number of ophthalmologists with varied interests and practices convenes. Some papers are case reports and are strikingly brief. Several deal with experience with sulfa drugs. A discussion on tuberculin therapy by S. N . Cooper is one of the longer essays. T h e author gives a comprehensive and thorough analysis of the essentials of our knowledge of tuberculin. H e favors the therapeutic use by desensitization and states that "the eye, being an organ which exhibits the immune-allergic reaction easily, is a very sensitive balance to watch the reaction of tuberculin and for determining the dosage required for desensitization."
