Abstract
NEVER has there been such a large and repre-sentative gathering of botanists as was assembled in Cambridge on Aug. 16–23 for the Fifth International Botanical Congress. Of the twelve hundred members who registered, nearly one thousand attended. As was to be expected, Great Britain supplied most members, but the United States of America sent a large contingent, and, including the overseas portions of the British Empire, about fifty-five peoples were represented. The original intention had been to hold the Congress in London, but it was decided that Cambridge would be a more convenient centre.
