Abstract
THE seventh General Assembly of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics was held at Washington, D.C., during the period September 4–15, 1939, after the declaration of war upon Germany by Great Britain and France, consequent upon the German invasion of Poland. It was thore-fore probably the last of the series of great international scientific conferences of the period following upon the War of 1914–18. The choice of Washington as the place of the seventh assembly was made at the sixth assembly, in Edinburgh, in 1936. At Washington the invitation of Norway to the Union, to hold its eighth assembly in that country, was formally accepted, for 1942 or as soon thereafter as conditions in Europe permit. The first five assemblies of the Union were held at Rome, Madrid, Prague, Stockholm and Lisbon.
