Discussion of the atmospheric and other characteristics of Mars and V.!nus
which are of importance 'hilh respect to their habitability. The "population
explosion'' on earth is noted and the possibi!ity of colonizing other planets
is considered briefly, as is the possible existence there of living beings
resembling man.

Author states that while observations of seasonal changes on Mars seem
to favor the probability of organic life, he [irefers an inoq~anir explana-
tion involving appropriate combinationG of volcanic ash, lava, and winds.

Theories and data are presented supporting the view that conditions favor-
able to carbon-based life might exist on Mars. G. A. Tikhov, correspond-
ing member of the U.S. S. R. Academy of Science, photographed Mars
through colored heliofilters, obs~rveci the changing colors through the seasons,
and concluded that they parallel the changing colors of the evergreen taiga in
Siberia. He also concluded that if vegetati...m exists on lV&ars it does nc;t show
presence of chloroJJhyll but !)hotographs white as do earth's Arctic plants.

Present evidence strongly suggests, 00.t does not conclusively prove, that
life exists on Mars, the author states. He notes tnat intercomparison of
Martian and terrestrial organisms, botn on the biochemical and on t;ic
morphological levels, can provide a general perspective wi1ic11 is eurrently
laci{ing in biology because all the life forms known to date have probably
evolved from a sing~e instanc€' foe origin of life.
