C. To determine the importance of the detailed geomorphological map for the development of geomorphology and the use madę of this map in practical purposes.

The Conference program was realized, and the Conference Partici-pants often pointed to its crucial account.

15 members: J. Bakker (Amsterdam), L. Berry (Khartoum), «* B. Bulla (Budapest), -J. D e m e k (Brno), J. D r e s c h (Paris), R. Galon (Toruń), J.-Gellert (Potsdam), F. Gullentops (Lcuvain), M.

The Conference met for five sessions associated with several excur-sions into areas covered by geomorphological maps on the scalę of 1 : 50,000 (Kraków Region, Upper Silesian Industrial District, Bieszczady Mtns, Tatra Mtns, Lower Vistula Valley, morainic plateaus in the vicinity of Chełmno and Dobrzyń). Geomorphological problems of the areas visited during the excursions were demonstrated on the example of the Detailed Geomorphological Map of Poland’. Furthermore, the local plann-ing and urban authorities considered the importance of this detailed geomorphological map for practical purposes (the regional plans for development of Greater Kraków and of the Bieszczady Mtns.).
