Abstract
As part of the survey which the Agricultural Research Council, in conjunction with the Agricultural Improvement Councils for England and Wales and Scotland, has been making of fields of research in which expansion is needed, special attention has been given to animal breeding and genetics as a subject of outstanding importance. After considering advice on developments in this field given by a special survey group, for which the American Government generously made available the services of Dr. R. T. Clark of Montana, and after consultation with the departments of agriculture, the Agricultural Research Council has appointed to its scientific staff Prof. R. G. White, professor of agriculture in the University College of North Wales, Bangor, and Dr. C. H. Waddington, of the Department of Zoology, University of Cambridge. Their first task will be to prepare a scheme for the creation of a national organization for research in animal breeding and genetics, covering the needs of Great Britain. Prof. White will be the director and Dr. Waddington will be chief geneticist.
