Tots and Quots was a society of scientists (including Darlington, J.B.S. Haldane and S. Zuckerman) concerned that the press should carry informed articles about science. The scientists apparently met over dinner [c.1940-1945] and were responsible for Science in War (Penguin Books, 1940) and for a variety of articles in the national press.

Material comprises list of topics, manuscript and typescript drafts of short articles on scientific topics, corrections for second edition of Science and War, etc. Not all the articles are by Darlington.
