Abstract
THE report of the Council of the Royal Anthropological Institute for July, 1947—June, 1948 has appeared. It is pleasing to gather that real progress has been made in all directions. The Institute has always been handicapped through lack of means and in other ways. Though these disabilities have by no means all been overcome, improvement can be clearly noted. The membership is rising, and the library is now in better order. Much activity has been shown in many directions. The Institute fulfils an important function in a country like Great Britain which lies at the centre of a great Empire, and every effort should be made to help it to do what it alone can accomplish for the study and understanding of the many primitive peoples it is still our lot to sustain.
