Abstract
THE Proceedings of the Seventh International Congress of Genetics, which was being held in Edinburgh just prior to the outbreak of war, have been issued as a supplementary volume to the Journal of Genetics, The difficulties in holding the Congress and the magnificent manner in which the secretariat overcame many of them has already been commented upon in NATURE. The papers, covering a varied and wide field, are published either in entirety or in summary form, under an alphabetical arrangement of author's names. A subject index to these 331 papers increases the value of these Proceedings for those who desire to know recent thought and work in genetics. The production of such a publication, in present circumstances, deserves particular praise, since the authors of some of the papers had to leave the Congress in a hurry and are now out of reach.
