sponsoring t h e Second I n t e r n a t i o n a l Symposium on Advances in Gas C h r o m a t o g r a p h y to be held a t t h e SheratonLincoln Hotel in Houston, Texas, on M a r c h 23 to 26, 1934. T h e meeting consists of p a p e r s b y outstanding sci entists from t h e U, S. a n d abroad. Topics include recent developments in t h e theory and practice of ionization detectors, gas c h r o m a t o g r a p h y of com pounds of biological interest, new col u m n techniques, and t h e analysis of flavors. Informal discussion groups on special topics are also planned. An exhibition of t h e latest gas chroma tographic i n s t r u m e n t a t i o n and acces sories will be held during t h e sympo sium. A t t e n d a n c e a t the symposium will be limited and applications will be accepted in order of receipt of the registration forms. Details of t h e meeting and registration forms are available from Prof. A. Zlatkis, Chem istry D e p a r t m e n t , University of Hous ton, Houston, Texas.
