Abstract
DURING 1940 meetings were held at which the place of the biological sciences and the role of biologists in war-time were discussed by the British Ecological Society, the Association of Applied Biologists and the Society for Experimental Biology. As a result of these discussions each of the societies appointed a sub-committee to review the position and make further inquiries as to the nature of war problems. Early in 1941 the sub-committee of the societies agreed to form a joint committee and after several meetings formulated a number of proposals as to the best means of mobilizing both biologists and biological knowledge in the national interest.
