Abstract
THE letter published in Nature of July 29 from Prof. F. E. Fritsch opens an important subject which has been in the minds of a number of zoologists during the past few years, and it is one in connexion with which some of us would be extremely glad to see action taken on the lines which Prof. Fritsch indicates. Whatever this action may be, it is essential to realize from the outset (as Prof. Fritsch does) that nothing short of one or more teams of full-time workers will meet the case adequately; the problems involved are too numerous and too complex to make a part-time attack on them any longer profitable. One can envisage valuable part-time assistance for the team, but a nucleus of full-time workers is indispensable.
