Abstract
NOTWITHSTANDING the unfortunate overlapping in the dates of the meetings of the Association and the International Congress of Prehistoric Archaeology at Geneva, which seemed likely at one time to affect seriously the attendance of anthropologists at Dundee, the proceedings of Section H (Anthropology), which met this year under the presidency of Prof. G. Elliot Smith, F.R.S., were, if anything, of even greater interest than usual, and in-cluded several communications of considerable importance. The attendances throughout were good, and if, in the first half of the meeting, the discussions were a little below the customary standard, this was due to lack of time rather than to lack of interest, and was more than counterbalanced in the second part of the meeting, when the problems of Mediterranean archaeology and the President's views on the origin and distribution of megalithic monuments gave rise to animated interchanges of opinion.
