Abstract
THE September issue of Man is devoted to the first session of the International Congress of Anthro pological and Ethnological Sciences which was held in London on July 30-August 4. A group photograph in three sections of the members of the Congress forms the frontispiece of the issue, and a general survey by Prof. J. L. Myres, one of the general secretaries, opens the report. Full summaries are given of Lord Onslow's presidential address on “Anthropology in Administration” and of the Huxley Memorial Lecture by Sir Aurel Stein, as well as of the evening discourses delivered by Prof. T. C. Hodson on the census of India, by Dr. R. R. Marett on the tendency of anthropological studies and by Prof. J. B. S. Haldane on “Anthropology and Human Biology”. The proceedings in each of the eleven’ sections amxing which the work of the Congress was distributed are briefly reported either by the sectional president or the secretary. As some delay is inevitable before the volume containing the full account of the proceedings with abstracts, etc., is available, this very full report is not only welcome, but also will be extremely useful for purposes of reference until a more authoritative source is available.
