Abstract
THE twenty-sixth session of the International Congress of Americanists, which was to have taken place during November in Seville, had to be postponed owing to financial and political difficulties in Spain. The work of organisation is, however, well advanced and it is hoped that it may still be possible to hold the Congress early in 1935. It is unfortunate that the deliberations of this body, which are invariably of great scientific interest to students of the cultures of aboriginal America, should be subjected to interruption through political unrest. It will be remembered that when the Congress last met in La Plata at the close of 1932, conditions were anything but favourable to an international scientific assembly, and, indeed, had it not been for a certain disorganisation arising out of these conditions, it is probable that the invitation of Great Britain would have been accepted and the Congress would have met in London in close association with the First International Congress of Ethnological Sciences in August last.
