Abstract
THE sixth Pacific Science Congress will be held in Berkeley, Stanford and San Francisco, California, during July 24-August 12 under the auspices of the National Research Council of Canada, on the invitation of the U.S. National Research Council. The programme is so constituted as to emphasize the discussion of comprehensive scientific topics of general interest to the peoples living within the Pacific basin, and the theme of the Congress will therefore be “the present stage of knowledge of Pacific scientific problems and methods by which that knowledge may be most profitably enlarged”. For this reason, the programme is arranged as a series of symposia rather than a collection of independent papers. Forty-two countries have been invited to take part. Further information can be obtained from Dr. R. E. Clausen, Room 205, Hilgard Hall, University of California, Berkeley, California.
