Abstract
WHILE taxonomy has, in the past, been based mainly on morphology, the advances of the past two decades in cytology, ecology, genetics and other branches of biology have made it necessary to consider their contribution to the subject. As a result of meetings of members of the staffs of the John Innes Horticultural Institution and the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and of zoologists interested in taxonomy, a “Committee on Systematics in Relation to General Biology” has been formed, the first open meeting of which will be held in the rooms of the Linnean Society, Burlington House, London, W.I, on June 25 at 3 p.m. All biologists interested in the general aims of the Committee are invited to attend. The chairman of the Committee is Dr. Julian S. Huxley, and the two secretaries are Mr. J. S. L. Gilmour, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew {botany), and Mr. H. W. Parker, British Museum {Natural History), South Kensington, S.W.7 (zoology).
