Abstract
THE Bulletin der Schweizerischen Gesellschaft für Anthropologie und Ethnologie,1938–39, in addition to the annual report, obituary and other affairs of domestic concern, contains matter of wider interest for anthropologists in a contribution by the editor, Dr. O. Schlaginhaufen, “Untersuchungen über die Gesichtsform der Schweizer” which was presented to the International Congress of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences at Copenhagen in August last, and summaries of the anthropological communications to the annual meeting of the Société Helvétique des Sciences Naturelles at Coire, August 28, 1938, from the Actes of that Society. Among these, a group of papers by Prof. E. Pittard deals comparatively with various lesser known physical characters of the Bushman and other peoples of South Africa, upon which the author's promised further interpretations will be awaited with considerable interest.
