Abstract
PERMIT me to make in your columns a few remarks on the following topic:— It is now well known that the Council of the British Association have lately memorialised the Secretaries of State for the Home Department, Army, Navy, India, and the Colonies, expressing an opinion that the Anthropometric methods for Identification in use in France and elsewhere, deserve serious inquiry, as to their efficiency, the cost of their maintenance, their general utility, and the propriety of introducing them, or any modification of them, into the Criminal Department of the Home Office, into the Recruiting Departments of the Army and Navy, or in the Indian and Colonial Administration.
