    Additions and Corrections To the First Edition of ' Pharmacopedia,' published October, igoi. ISSUE OF SEPTEMBER, 1902. The following list includes a number of more or less trivial misprints, and such errors and omissions of importance as have been noted in ' Pharmacopedia' since the work was published. With very few exceptions, the errors which have been detected are of typographical origin, but some corrections are suggested in order to maintain uniformity in botanical and chemical terminology. The additions to certain monographs are given for the sake of completeness, and in order to bring the information as far as possible up to date. The authors of ' Pharmacopedia' are indebted to the correspondents who have aided them in compiling the following list, and will be glad to receive early intimation of any further misprints, errors, or omissions, which may be detected by readers of the book.
