were given by American hostesses, 

 namely, by the Duchess of Marl- 

 borough at Sunderland House and by 

 Mrs. Whitelaw Eeid at Dorchester 

 House. 



Thirty-one papers were presented be- 

 fore the congress, in English, French 

 and Italian. The papers from Ger- 

 man, Danish and Norwegian sources, 

 as well most of those from Italian, 

 were given in English. Of these 

 thirty-one papers eight came from the 

 United States, their authors being (in 

 order of presentation of paper) Dr.

 Dr. C. B. Davenport, Mr. Bleecker van

 fessor V. L. Kellogg, Dr. Frederick 

 Adams Woods and Professor H. E. 

 Jordan. Dr. Weeks, Dr. Davenport and 

 Professor Jordan were unable to be 



present, and their papers were read by 

 their colleagues. 



The decision as to the time and place 

 of the next congress was deferred and 

 will be made in August, 1913, by the 

 permanent international committee, 

 which has been provisionally organized 

 subject to re-arrangement by the vari- 

 ous national consultative committees. 

 San Francisco presented an invitation 

 to the committee to hold the next con- 

 gress there in 1915 at the time of the 

 Panama-Pacific Exposition, and the 

 committee members are inclined to con- 

 sider the invitation seriously. Dr. 

 Ploetz, of Munich, president of the 

 International Society for Bace Hygiene, 

 presented informally to the delegates 

 a plan for the establishment of an 

 international union of scientific race- 

 hygiene and eugenics societies which
