Abstract
THE activities of the International Academy of the History of Science were suspended during the War. Prof Aldo Mieli, the permanent secretary, is not at preseijrtf able to leave Buenos Aires, and it has not yet hejm possible to resume publication of Archeion, the, Journal of the Academy. It has been decided, however, to hold a congress at Lausanne in the summer of 1947. All interested in the subject will be welcome, and the following provisional measures have been taken : J. A. Vollgraff (Roodbortsstraat 17, Leyden, Holland) is acting as secretary-treasurer, and Prof. P. Brunet (Hotel Nevers, 12 Rue Colbert, Paris 21eme) as archivist and librarian. Prof. Arnold Reymond, of Lausanne, was elected president at the last meeting and will preside at the next. A corrected list of the surviving members of the Academy is being compiled. Each individual member and each national group is urgently requested to send the necessary information either to Prof. Brunet or to M. Vollgraff. Suggestions for the replacement of both executive and corresponding members who have died since 1938 will be welcomed. Prof. Brunet further wishes to receive from members copies of books and brochures published by them since 1939, together with a note both of their own activities and that of their national group during the intervening period. Obituary notices of those who have died, together with photographs, are also desired.
