International Congress of Zoology, 1948

The executive committee of the Thirteenth International Congress of Zoology has announced that the Congress will be held in Paris during July 21–27, 1948. An attempt was made to arrange that

the two Congresses, of Genetics and of Entomology, to be held in Stockholm in July and August 1948 respectively, should be brought closer together so that the Congress of Zoology could

either precede or follow them, but this proved impossible. The Congress of Zoology will meet in the following sections, the sectional presidents' names being given in brackets: general

zoology (Prof. A. Vandel); evolution and genetics (G. Teissier); cytology and protistology (Prof. E. Fauré-Frémiet); comparative and experimental embryology (E. Wolff); vertebrates (a)

comparative anatomy (Prof. M. Prenant) and (b) systematics and ecology (Prof. E. Bourdelle); invertebrates except insects (Prof. L. Fage); entomology (Prof. R. Jeannel); applied zoology and

parasitology (Prof. A. Vayssiére); zoogeography and palæontology (Prof. C. Arambourg); nomenclature (M. Fischer-Piette). The president of the Congress will be Prof. M. Caullery, professor of

zoology at the Sorbonne, president of the permanent committee of the Congress of Zoology; and the secretary-general is Prof. Fischer-Piette, 55 rue de Buffon, Paris Ve., from whom

particulars can be obtained.
