A paper on biological assays and biological standards might be expected to start with a definition. What is a biological assay and what is a biological standard? However, I shall for the moment make the somewhat doubtful assumption that we all know the answer to those questions but shall return to them later, making a start meanwhile by discussing some aspects of the history of our subject.
