Science in Kweichow and Kuangsi

Abstract

AFTER some lapse of time, the opportunity again presents itself of continuing the series of articles on science in China in war-time, of which seven have already appeared in Nature. In this and the following article, on China's far south-east, I shall be describing an area which I visited in the summer of 1944, just before the tide of war overwhelmed nearly all of it, wrecking many scientific installations, and forcing many of the scientific workers I met to take to the roads in evacuation or to the mountains in dispersal.
