Molecular dynamics simulations of strongly supercooled liquids have
been used to identify a length scale that increases with the degree
of supercooling.  Some of the consequences for the theory of the
strongly supercooled state of glass forming liquids implied by
this particular length scale are examined.  Some new ways of
characterizing supercooled states are suggested.
