A GENERAL Discussion of the Faraday Society on “The Interaction of Water and Porous Materials” was held at University College, Southampton, during March 31-April 2. The four groups of papers on the programme were concerned with (a) fundamental, (6) botanical, (c) zoological, mainly entomological, and (d) industrial aspects of the penetration and movement of water in porous materials. They were well chosen to provide topics on which physical chemists, botanists, zoologists, agriculturists and those interested in fibrous materials such as textiles, wood and leather, could discuss problems common to two or more groups.Â
