Abstract
INSTITUTES or analogous foundations have rendered great services to physicists, medical men, engineers, chemists, anthropologists and many other professional groups. No such foundation exists to serve the needs of biologists. Recently the Biological Council, consisting of representatives of nineteen different biological societies, was asked by a number of these societies to examine the possibility of forming an Institute of Biology. In a preliminary investigation the views of a number of representative biologists were obtained, and information was also available from the Institute of Biology recently established in the United States under the auspices of the National Research Council.
