the Honolulu Conference it was an
official Government affair and was attended by 80 delegates from overseas in addition to a large num ber of local scientists. At the close of this Congress an International Organizaion Committee was formed to put the Congress on a permanent basis, and as a result of their work the next Congress at Tokyo in 1926 saw the definite establishment of the Pacific Science Association.
The Japan Congress was attended by 142 foreign delegates and parti- cipants. Particular importance is attached to the present Congress as the first one to be held under the auspices of the new Association which came into existence at the Japan Congress in 1926. The in- terest continues to grow and the number of visitors from abroad has reached the record number of 250, besides whom there are in ad- dition 200 local participants.
