ex GENERAL SUMMARY OF SCIENTIFIC AND 



Berlin Society of Anthropology, Ethnology, and Prehistoric 

 Archaeology, instructing them as to collections to be made 

 in all parts of the world. 



Professor Busk, in Vol. III. of the Journal of the Anthro- 

 pological Institute, figures and describes a new and handy 

 chorometer. A discussion upon the material for testing the 

 cubical contents of skulls accompanies the report. 



In the same journal, January 27, 1874, Dr. H. von Jhering 

 and Dr. Paul Broca make valuable contributions to the meth- 

 ods of craniometry. The latter, in the Bulletin de la Societe 

 d? Anthropologic (Paris, Part L, 1874), describes and figures 

 instruments for examining the cranial cavity without sawing 

 the skull. 



At the Bradford meeting of the British Association, held 

 September, 1873, a committee, consisting of Colonel Lane Fox, 

 Dr. Bedcloe, Mr. Franks, Sir J. Lubbock, Bart., Sir Walter 

 Elliot, Mr. Clements R. Markham, and Mr. E. B. Tylor, report- 

 ed through Colonel Lane Fox, their chairman, upon "Instruc- 

 tions for Travelers, Ethnologists, and other Anthropological 

 Observers," that they had met and passed the following res- 

 olutions : 



" 1. That the work to be published by the committee 

 shall consist of numbered sections, each section being pref- 

 aced by a few lines of explanatory notes and followed by 

 questions. 



" 2. That the notes and questions shall be as brief as pos- 

 sible. 



" 3. That the secretary be requested to draw up the head- 

 ings of about one hundred sections, and submit them to the 

 committee at their next meeting. 



" 4. That the secretary be requested to draw up a specimen 

 section or sections upon half margin, and to circulate them 

 among the members of the committee for their remarks pre- 

 viously to the next meeting of the committee. 



" 5. That the title of the work shall be, ' Notes and Queries 

 on Anthropology, for the Use of Travelers and Residents in 

 Uncivilized Lands.' 



"6. That M. Broca's chromatic tables be adopted; and 

 that Dr. Beddoe be requested to communicate with him for 

 the purpose of ascertaining in what manner they can be most 

 economically reproduced in this country."
