Abstract
THE newly appointed Cotton Research Board for Egypt has issued a Preliminary Report, in which a sketch is given of the general significance of the Egyptian cotton crop and the formation and proposed operations of the new Board are described. Plans of the buildings under construction are shown, and a few illuminating figures serve to bring homf to the reader the immense, volume of detailed information required in the modern study of crops. An outline of the field of work to be undertaken by a staff of eleven non-Egyptian scientific workers and twenty Egyptians is given for the botanical, entomological, chemical, and physical sides, though the Board is rightly careful not to bind itself to a definite programme.
