Abstract
AT North Truro, a small village near the extreme end of Cape Cod in Massachusetts, a remarkably successful conference on problems of growth and differentiation was held during August 7–11. Sponsored by the editorial board of Growth, members of which also carried out the excellent local arrangements, it brought together about seventy workers from the fields of genetics, embryology, biochemistry, morphology, and botany. Many were accommodated in the wooden cabins of Whitman House, at the edge of a pinewood, not far from excellent sea-beaches, and the delegation from England, at any rate, appreciated to the full the hot weather and the sunshine. The meetings took placo in the village school, a building in the attractive wooden New England style, admirably adapted for the purpose. Some informal discussions also took placo in the Marine Biological Laboratory of the Lankenau Hospital, about half a mile away.
