Introduction
At the termination of the Sixth International Symposium on Chironomidae, in
Prague, 197&, "the assembled delegates voted Ireland as the host country for the
next symposium· .Accordingly the Seventh International Symposium was organised in
Dublin and held on the campus of University College, Dublin on Augus t27-29, 1979·
Eighty three registered delegates from twenty one countries convened in Dublin on
Monday August 27 for the opening of the symposium by Professor C.F. Humphries.
The first August Thienemann Lecture on the topic "Methods and principles of phylo-
genetic biogeography" was delivered by Professor Lars Brundin. Following this
lecture participants presented, during the succeeding two and a half days, a total
of forty five papers in ten scientific sessions.

VIM Introduction
Lectures were delivered on the following themes:- Cytology and physiology;
Systematics and geographic distribution; Ecology, including aspects of lotic,
lentic and pollution biology.
The proceedings of the symposium are published by the camera ready method in an
attempt to reduce costs and produce the volume as. rapidly as possible. The
editor is grateful to the contributors for their co-operation in this undertaking.
The Eight International Symposium is to be held in the United States of America
in 1982 at a venue yet to be decided.
Twenty six delegates participated in the three day post symposium excursion. On
the first day the tour went south west, via the Japanese Gardens at Tully and the
Rock of Cashel, to Killarney. Here on the banks of the River Elesk, to the
satisfaction of many colleagues, isolated swarms of Buchonomyia thienemanni Eitt.
were observed and individual specimens collected eagerly. On the second day the
group travelled northwards across the River Shannon estuary to visit the Cliffs of
Moher on the Atlantic coast and the limestone Burren region of County Clare
before enjoying a medieval banquet at Dunguaire Castle. On the last day of the
excursion participants travelled eastwards across the central plain to see the
megalithic passage graves at Newgrange, County Meath.
Financial assistance for the symposium is gratefully acknowledged from: Tara
Mines Ltd., whose generous support assisted the publication of the scientific
proceedings of the symposium; The Electricity Supply Board for assistance towards
the administrative costs and the National Board for Science and Technology for
providing grants to help defray the accommodation and living expenses of several
delegates from east European Socialist Countries.
Thanks are also extended to the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Clr. William Cumiskey, for
hosting the delegates to a civic reception at the Mansion House; to Bord Failte
Eireann and Aer Lingus for advice and assistance and to the post graduate students
of the Limnology Unit, Department of Zoology, University College, Dublin for many
hours of enthusiastic help.
