Mr. J. C. Kendrew, Dr. M. F. Perutz and Professor F. J. W. Roughton) 

 should take steps to publish the whole proceedings in the form of a 

 memorial volume within a year's time if possible. Professor F. J. W. 

 Roughton and Mr. J. C. Kendrew were appointed editors, and Messrs. 

 Butterworths Scientific Publications Ltd publishers. We believe that 

 the astonishing range of subjects comprised in this volume would have 

 given the utmost delight to the late Sir Joseph Barcroft, who was 

 indeed the fountain-head of so much of all this varied work. If so, 

 there can be no more fitting memorial to him.
