Abstract
This paper is in two parts. In the first part, the author makes a conjecture connected with Penrose's hypothesis of zero Weyl tensor at initial singularities and presents some evidence for believing in it. In the second, he calculates the quasi-local mass of a comoving cylinder in some LRS cosmological models and investigates its behaviour near a singularity.Keywords
