In a recent letter to the Biochemical Bulletin Dr. Plimmer 

 makes the f ollowing Statement of general interest to biol. chemists : 

 " Our interest in Biochemistry in this country still remains, but the 

 Output of work is sadly diminished. Most of the scientific workers 

 are engaged in war-work, either as combatants or indirectly, so that 

 our future meetings will not be large either in the way of attendance 

 or of Communications. It is right that every one should work in 

 some capacity to bring the war to a successful conclusion and as 

 speedily as possible." [Ed.]
