Abstract
THE third Pan-Pacific Science Congress was held at Tokyo on Oct. 30—Nov. 11, 1926, under the auspices of the National Research Council of Japan and through the generosity of the Imperial Japanese Government. It must well have been one of the most remarkable scientific meetings ever held. The main objects of the Congress, like those of the first held in Honolulu in 1920, and of the second held in Australia in 1923, were (1) to initiate and promote co-operation in the study of scientific problems relating to the Pacific region, more especially those affecting the prosperity and well-being of the Pacific peoples and (2) to promote a feeling of brotherhood and to strengthen the bonds of peace among Pacific peoples. It was laid down that all branches of physical and biological science formed proper subjects for discussion, provided that they bore upon some Pacific problem.
