Fleming, Program Manager, FACSS (Titles), 24 Crestfield Rd., Wilm- ington, DE 19810, USA, by March 28 1986. A 250 word abstract will be due by June 1 1986. Workshops and short courses will again be offered. For exhibition details contact Dr. E. G. Brame, Jr., Exhibit Director, 13 North Cliff Dr., Wilmington, DE 19089-1623, USA. XXV Colloquium Spectroscopicum Inter- nationale June 21-26,1987, Toronto, Canada The XXV Colloquium Spectroscopicum Internationale will be held at the Hilton Harbour Castle, Toronto. The meeting is sponsored by the Spectroscopy Society of Canada, the Society for Applied Spectro- scopy (USA) and the National Research Council of Canada. The core of the scientific programme will consist of two plenary lectures, by Nobel Laureates Dr. Gerhard Herzberg and Professor Arthur L. Schawlow, and about 35 invited lectures by young scientists. The other lectures will be selected from submitted abstracts. There are no plans for poster sessions. The invited and submitted presentations will be based on recent research, rather than reviews of past work. For additional information contact Mr. L. Forget, Executive Secretary CSI XXV, National Research Council, Canada, Ottawa, Canada KIA OR6.
