The opinion of the meeting seemed to be that for the present there was no great need for medical laboratory, but rather need for a biological Inboracory in Shanghai. Most medical men engaged in research work either had their own Inboratories or had access to one in some hospital. The same did not apply to biological research work and it was felt that efforts should be directed towards the establishment of a well-equipped laboratory in Shanghai for. biological research work, especially: in. relation medical science. Tt wan that not only qualified pti and surgeons should be eligible for membership, but also profes: sional biologiate.
"The constitution and regula tions will be printed shortly and circulated amongst the members of the section. All who are inter. ested inthe important work of medico-biological investigation am cordially invited to send in their names for membership this section of the Society.
