Abstract Many advances in the world of science have taken place quietly in field and laboratory, with few to applaud the discoverer or to appreciate his worth. The man we honor today was such a pioneer, whose work received full recognition only many years after its completion. It is, I think you will agree, a very fitting tribute to Ridley to discuss recent advances in the science of natural rubber and to applaud at least some of the contributions made by the many different workers. The field is a large one, and I can hope only to give a brief survey of a few selected items, so I propose paying more attention to research which is concerned with the production of natural rubber rather than with its utilization.
