Abstract
(1) THE Second International Congress for Sex Research was held in London in 1930, when more than 250 members from about thirty different countries were present. Nearly all the papers delivered have now been published in the proceedings of the Congress. The editor has arranged them in five sections, biology, hormones, therapy, contraception and sociology. The majority of the papers deal with the physiology and biochemistry of the sex hormones and afford an excellent summary of recent work on this subject, since they are given in extenso with figures and tables, instead of in abstract as is more usual in the published reports of congresses.
