ZOOLOGIST TO VISIT U.S.
Speaker At World Conference A paper on animal life in ponds which dry in the sumber in Canterbury will be given by Dr. V. M. Stout, senior lecturer in zoology at the University of Canterbury, when she attends the fifteenth international conference in linology at Madison, in the United States, this month. Dr. Stout explained that linology was the study of animal life in lakes, ponds, and fresh-water streams and rivers She said that she had studied the effects caused by four ponds in Canterbury which dried for different periods. The studies related to how the animal life reacted and conditioned itself to the period when there was no water in the ponds. While she is in the United States. Dr. Stout will visit a laboratory at Boulder, in the Colorado mountains, to study conditions in high mountain lakes. She hopes to compare conditions there with those in Canterbury mountain lakes. She will also visit Cornell University, where there has been specialised research carried out on fresh-water lakes, and the Natural History Museum in London.
