†† Your Editor can only presume that this refers to the interest (expressed earlier more than once in his hearing) of Dr Mostafa K. Tolba, Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme, in ultimately seeing into being some such world-collating environmental body as we both hope ardently the new Academy will be. To such ends we are pleased and honoured to serve on its Governing Council. — Ed.
