Abstract
SPAIN will act as host for the ninth International Congress of Pure and Applied Chemistry, which will be held in Madrid on April 5–11, 1934, under the patronage of H.E. the President of the Spanish Republic and of the Spanish Government. The object of the Congress, which was to have been held in 1932, is to promote the progress of pure and applied chemistry, and to strengthen relations between chemists throughout the world. The president of the bureau of the Congress is Prof. Obdulio Fernéndez, and the general secretary is Prof. Enrique Moles; the address of the organising committee's office is San Bernardo 49 (P.O. Box 8043), Madrid (8). Membership is of three categories: honorary members, comprising the committees of honour and of patronage, and the official delegates of the Spanish Government and of the governments of other countries; supporting members, who pay the minimum amount of 300 pesetas; and active members, who pay a fee of 75 pesetas (about £1 178. 6d.). Members' ladies pay 25 pesetas only, but they will not be entitled, as members are, to receive publications in extenso, the daily bulletin, summaries of communications, or the report of proceedings. Membership is open to societies, institutions, etc., connected with any branch of pure or applied chemistry, and to individuals interested therein. Applications for membership should be made to the general secretary before February 15, 1934, and should be accompanied by a remittance made payable to the treasurer. Pamphlets containing the rules of the Congress and other information can be obtained in England from Mr. S. E. Carr, The Chemical Society, Burlington House, Piccadilly, London, W.1.
