Abstract
THE Association of British Zoologists, which had not met since January 1939 owing to the War, held its tenth annual general meeting on March 24 in the rooms of the Zoological Society of London. Proceedings opened with a business meeting during the course of which the following elections were made or, having been made by the Council, were confirmed: President, Prof. James Ritchie; Hon. Secretary, Dr. John Smart, British Museum (Natural History), London, S.W.7; New Members of Council, Prof. D. L. Mackinnon, Prof. James Gray, Mr. J. C. F. Fryer, Prof. C. H. O'Donoghue and Wing-Com-mander F. S. Russell; New Trustees, Mr. J. T. Saunders and Dr. W. E. Swinton. After the business meeting, the Association proceeded to a discussion on the "Post-War Teaching of Zoology in Schools and Universities". This discussion was opened by Dr. C. F. A. Pantin and is reported elsewhere in this issue (see p. 535). In the afternoon, a series of four shorter discussions centring around the general topic of "Some Developments of Post-War Research" was engaged in. The first, on "Marine Investigations", was opened by Dr. E. S. Russell and this was followed by one on "The Work of the Zoological Society" opened by Dr. S. A. Neave. Mr. J. C. F. Fryer opened the next, on "Zoological Interests of the Agricultural Research Council", and the final topic was "Freshwater Investigations", opened by Dr. E. B. Worthington.
