It was decided at the Eleventh International Psycho-Analytical Congress at Oxford that the next Congress should be held in Switzerland. The Central Executive has selected Interlaken as the place of meeting, after consultation with the Council of the Swiss Society, and with the approval of the branch societies; and has chosen the date September 7–10, 1931, having special regard to the Conference of the International Neurological Society, which takes place in Berne immediately before this date. It is requested that members of the several societies of the International Psycho-Analytical Association should give notice of papers to their President as early as possible, in no case later than April 1; and that they should at the same time furnish him with a brief abstract of the projected paper. Further information with regard to the Congress will be circulated to the Councils of the branch societies.
A Psycho-Analytical Society, the Nippon Seishin-Bunscki Gakukai (Japanese Psycho-Analytical Society), was formed in Tokio during the spring of the year 1930.

Mawatari, Kazue, M.D.
Nagata, Nideo, dramatist.
Otsuki, Kenji, graduate of Waseda University.
Tsuskima, Kwanji, M.D. ((Secretary).
Yabe, Yae-Kichi, A.B. (President).
