Possibility of life on Mars is discussed in terms of the Martian atmos- phere and in terms of tile hypothesis that tne Martian surface mark- ings a re causert by vegetation. Cade, C. Maxwell. Are we alone in space? Discovery, v. 24, Apr. 20, 1963: 27-29. Various theories of origin of life on earth are reviewed witn reference to possible devel0pment of similar life forms on other planets of other solar systems. Extraterrestriai origin of life on earth (panspermia hypothesis) is discussed critically from moment of a spore's escape from another planet to the arrival on earth's surface. Life on Mars, Venus, and other planets is briefly discussed. Conclusion of speculation is that intelligent life does exist in other parts of the universe. Calvin, Melvin. Communication: from molecules to Mars. In A. I. B. S. Bull., v. 12, Oct. 1962: 29-44. Current knowledge of chemical evolution on earth and the generation of molecular communities which give rise to terrestrial organisms is re- viewed. It is hypothesized that given a corresponding set of molecules, temperature, and environment anywhere else in the universe, a simila:r sequence of evolution might have occurred as on earth. Mars is considered the most likely possibility for organic life. Cross, C. A. Conditions on Mars. In Gatland, Kenneth W. , ed. Spacefli.ght today. London, Iliffe Books, Ltd., 1963. p .. 192-203. Purpose of chapter is to show how knowledge of Mars can be deduced from what is actually observed astronomically. Author suggests that well-established deductions, which can confidently be nccepted, can then be distinguished from co11flicting hypotheses which await U1e accumulation of evidence before tney can be accepted or rejected. Cyr, Donald L. Mars revisited. Philadelphia, Dorr:rnce & Co., 1959. 131 p. A concept is advanced to aid in understanding the phenomenon of the variable sudace markings of Mars. DuckwE'll, W. E. Life in Mars. Popnlar astronomy, v. 49, Nov. 1941: 479-485. Edwards, Frank. Frank Edwards' report: Soviet scientists claim life on Mars. Fate. v. 14, Ap<. 1961: 40-46. Views by Soviet scientists on the plurality of i1111abited worlds are given. Among those who feel that Mars is inhabited by intelligent beint:s are V. Komarov, lecturer at Moscow planetariu.i1; Dr. M~rtynov, direci.JJ" uf tlu.1 Shternberg Astronomical Institute; and Prof. N. Zhirov. 239
