At that time the continuity was broken. An International Congress for Folktale 

 Study was held at Lund, Sweden, in 1935. As a result of the Lund meeting a more 

 general folklore congress called International Congress for European Ethnology and 

 Folklore was held at Edinburgh in 1937. In the same year an International Folk- 

 lore Congress took place in Paris. The Continuation Committee appointed at the 

 Paris congress of 1937 never had the opportunity to function. 



A Mid-century International Folklore Conference was held at Indiana University, 

 Bloomington, Indiana in 1950. Another International Congress is annoxmced to take 

 place in Stockholm, 1951. (Part of the information was kindly provided by Profes- 

 sor Stith Thompson in letters dated Bloomington, Ind., 15 Nov., 16 Dec. 1950).
