Red Cell Rheology Editors: M. Bessis, S. B. Shohet and N. Mohandas With 200 Figures and 36 Tables Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg New York 1978
Acknowledgements This Symposium, held at the Institut de Pathologie Cellulaire, Hopital de Bicetre, France, July 16-18, 1976, was made possible by the generosity of HOECHST Laboratories. The proofs have been corrected by each author. The discussions were edited by Stephen B. Shohet and N aria Mohandas; they have been somewhat shortened because of difficulties of intelligibility in the recordings. Authors so inclined are always welcome to submit letters or other commentaries for the next issue of BLOOD CELLS.

This issue is dedicated to the memory of Robert I. WEED (1929-1976) Bob was Associate Editor of the journal Blood Cells to which he gave his enthusiasm and his knowledge. His industry, his creativity, his thoroughness and efficiency made him one of the leaders of International Hematology. He never hesitated to commit himself and to explore new fields. He fought for his ideas which were numerous and sometimes shocking for the classical hematologist, a certain sign of originality. Those who knew him and loved him are aware that the projects that death kept him from accomplishing may be more important than those his short life allowed him to conclude. His legacy of ideas remains for the hematologists of the world a source of stimulation and inspiration.
