Abstract
A DISCUSSION on tissue respiration was organized for August 31 jointly between Sections B and I (Chemistry and Physiology) of the British Association at Dundee. Owing to the imminence of war several of the proposed speakers were unable to attend, namely, the organizer and opener Prof. R. A. Peters, Dr. Malcolm Dixon, Prof. H. Theorell, Dr. D. E. Green and Dr. T. Mann. Prof. D. Keilin also did not attend. Prof. H. S. Raper, who was intending in any event to give a contribution towards the end of the discussion, kindly offered to introduce the subject and ably substituted for the absent speakers, so that the comparatively large attendance was not in vain. In order to give a more comprehensive survey of the subject, it has been thought advisable to follow in this account the lines, of the addresses as originally planned.
