| After adjournment of the Symposium, several excursions will be arranged for
visiting various institutions of interest to geneticists, and also tours will be planned for
the sightseers. Circulars of further information will be available at the Secretariat, International Genetics Symposium, Science Council of Japan, Ueno Park, Tokyo, Japan. (Telegraphic Address: SCIENCOUNCIL TOKYO). 2) Wheat Symposium At the special meeting on the 29 th of August in 1953, at the Hotel Grande Bretagne, Bellagio, Italy, it was agreed to plan a symposium on the subjects of wheat genetics to be held in Japan in 1956, if possibie (s. page 1). Due to the financial circumstances of present Japan, however, it would be almost impossible to organize this project in 1956 when the International Genetics Symposium will be held. Therefore, I would like to suggest to put off the plan until the next International Congress of Genetics to be held in Canada in 1958. Your opinions in connection with this matter would be very much appreciated. (H. Kihara). 3) "Studies on Wheat," a monograph edited by Dr. H. Kihara (written in Japanese) has appeared (May 25, 1954) from YOKENDO, a publisher in Tokyo. H. KIHARA, I. HIRAYOSHI, S. HOSONO, S. MATSUMURA, I. NISHIYAMA, I. UCHIKAWA and K. YAMASHITA have written chapters related to their specialities. (pp. 753, 1,000 yen). 4) Kihara Institute for Biological Research, which is now located in Kyoto, will have moved to Yokohama by 1956 when the International Geneties Symposium is held. |
