Abstract
THE three series of the Science Reports of the National Ising Hua University (Series A : mathematics, physics and engineering ; Series B : biology and psychology ; Series C : geology, geography and meteorology), published for several years before 1937, were suspended during 1937–45, with the exception of one issue of Series A printed in September 1940. With the return of the University to Peiping, publication of the three series has been resumed, and, so far, two issues of Series A (4, Nos. 4, 5 and 6 ; 1947, and 5, No. 1 ; 1948) have been received. The papers appearing in the 1947 issue were originally intended for publication in 1941 to commemorate the thirtieth anniversary of the University (1911-41) ; but, although the University was then at its wartime home at Kunming, the Reports were being printed in Shanghai, which was overrun by the Japanese military forces, and therefore they could not be published. The Reports, which are in English or French, indicate clearly how, in spite of extremely trying conditions, research work of a high standard continued to be carried out in the University.
