tutions of the South, graciously accepted an invitation to serve 

 as co-chairman of the committee and to have the Biology Di- 

 vision co-sponsor the symposium. He appointed Richard F. 

 Kimball, also of the Biology Division, to serve on the committee. 

 It would have been virtually impossible to organize the sym- 

 posium without the close cooperation of all of the committee 

 members. The symposium was financed through generous con- 

 tributions from the Biology Division, Oak Ridge National Lab- 

 oratory; the University's Departments of Bacteriology, Botany, 

 Chemistry, Geology, and Zoology and Entomology; and a lec- 

 tureship fund administered by the office of the President of the 

 University. 



Appreciation is due to Mr. Monroe K. Spears, editor of the 

 Sexuanee Review, through whose kind permission Professor 

 Dob/hansky's article appears.
