Abstract
AT the tenth meeting of the Union Internationale de Chimie held at Liege in 1930, apart from formal business, an adequate amount of time was devoted to consideration of problems connected with the constitution and properties of the simple and complex carbohydrates. Comprehensive papers previously circulated by recognised authorities prepared the way for useful discussions, and only in one or two cases was discussion rendered impossible by the tedious reading by authors of long manuscripts which either had been or should have been circulated previously. In spite of one or two drawbacks, the Liege meeting indicated how scientifically useful such international meetings may be when suitably organised.
