Abstract
THE fifth Congress for Experimental Cytology will be held in Zurich on August 7–12, 1938. The sixteenth International Physiological Congress and the International Veterinarian Congress will be held in Zurich too, on August 14–18 and August 21–25 respectively. The proceedings of the Cytological Congress are not to be divided in sections, but will be organized in the following way Scientific sessions will take up seven half days ; two afternoons are reserved for demonstrations, and during one afternoon there will be an excursion. Special subjects are to be treated at each session, opening with a general review to which one or two supplementary reviews may be added. Reprints of these papers will be sent to the members of the Congress at their home addresses, or— at the very latest— will be handed over to the members at the opening sessions of the Congress. Copies of the individual papers are likewise to be distributed before the sessions, the main object of this Congress being the discussion of cytological topics of special interest. The following subjects have been chosen for review: epithelium in culture and in the organism ; structure of chromosomes ; mechanism of mitosis ; cancer cells and normal cells ; experimental research on cytology and viruses ; ultra-structure of the protoplasm and its products; chemistry of the cell. Further information can be obtained from the honorary secretary for the Congress, Dr. Harald Okkels, Institute for Pathological Anatomy, University of Copenhagen, Denmark.
