Conference in utrecht AT the suggestion of Prof. G. J. van Oordt, the Society for Experimental Biology was invited by the botanists and zoologists of the University of Utrecht to hold a conference there during April 11-14. This was a memorable event in the history of the Society, being the first occasion on which a meeting had been held outside Great Britain. Utrecht and its ancient University have been for long associated with the struggle for the freedom of thought in Europe, and, after the recent relief from a period of intellectual suppression, it was a peculiarly happy environment for scientific discussion.
