The South-Eastern Union of Scientific Societies

Abstract

IN the account of the Congress of the South-Eastern Union of Scientific Societies held at St. Albans last year, printed in NATURE of July 8, 1939, it was suggested that this year the usual five-day Congress might be held in Cambridge and, as supplementary to the main annual Congress, single-day meetings might also be arranged to help local societies in centres too small to justify selection as a meeting place. The effect of war conditions, however, has ruled out Cambridge for the present. Following the precedents set in 1917 and 1918, therefore, for general convenience the abbreviated Congress was held in the rooms of the Linnean Society in London on June 12.
