Abstract
AN Imperial Botanical Conference, commencing \ on August 28 and lasting two to three days, according to the programme which may finally be arranged, will be held in London this year. The subjects set down for discussion are of general interest to Empire botanists, and include such topics as pasture research within the Empire, the ecology of tropical forests, the application of ecological methods to the study of native agriculture, problems of fruit storage and transport with special reference to tropical conditions, the furtherance of schemes for the closer co-ordination of botanical research within the Empire, etc. It is hoped that this Conference will furnish a convenient meeting ground for home and overseas botanists who are on their way to attend the International Botanical Congress which meets at Amsterdam in the week following. The chairman of the Organising Committee of the Conference is Sir Arthur Hill, director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and the honorary secretary is Prof. W. Brown, Imperial College of Science and Technology, South Kensington, London, S.W.7, from whom further particulars may be obtained.
