Abstract
AN international colloquium on biological topics that involve problems in rheology has been arranged to take place in Scandinavia during July 1950. It will last for approximately four days, during the interval between the International Congress of Botany (Stockholm, July) and the International Congress of Physiology (Copenhagen, August). The colloquium will include papers and addresses by workers in such fields as the circulation of blood, the mechanical properties of muscle, the movements of sap in plants and the rheological behaviour of protoplasm. It has been arranged under the auspices of the Joint Committee on Rheology of the International Council of Scientific Unions, by an organising sub-committee consisting of Prof. H. Eyring (Utah), Prof. A. Frey-Wyssling (Zurich), Prof. G. van Iterson (Delft) and Dr. P. Eggleton (Edinburgh). Further details can be obtained from Dr. P. Eggleton, Department of Physiology, University, Edinburgh.
