Abstract
THE twenty-second session of the Indian Science Congress was held at Calcutta on January 2-8. The session was memorable for the foundation of the National Institute of Sciences of India, which it is intended shall perform for India some of those functions which the Royal Society discharges with regard to science in the United Kingdom. The foundation of this Institute forms a land-mark in the organisation of scientific research in India. The inauguration ceremony of the National Institute was performed on January 7 by His Excellency Sir John Anderson, Governor of Bengal, when Dr. L. L. Fermor, president, delivered his presidential address.
