Abstract
THE International Association for Theoretical and Applied Limnology, the object of which is to provide a common meeting ground for those interested in the biology and utilization of fresh waters, achieves its purpose by means of congresses which are ordinarily held every two years and the proceedings of which are afterwards published. Between successive congresses, matters requiring attention are dealt with by the president, the secretary and a small executive committee, while reference can also be made to the members of an international committee upon which each participating country has one or more representatives. The last congress met in Sweden in 1939 and, apart from all other considerations, that held this year in Switzerland will be memorable for the renewal of old friendships and the opening up of new avenues of scientific intercourse. It was attended by about a hundred and sixty individuals representing twenty-one different nations, and the British group was one of the largest.
