544 proceedings: anthropological society 



ANNOUNCEMENT OF PROGRAM OF 

 THE ANTHROPOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF WASHINGTON 



During the season from October, 1917 to April, 1918, inclusive, the 

 Anthropological Society of Washington, D. C., will provide a very 

 interesting program of papers or lectures chiefly concerned with 

 divers nations of Europe and the East now at war or likely to be in- 

 volved before long, including especially some of our less known and 

 smaller allies. The general plan of most of these monographs will be 

 a resume of earliest known data, racial origins, shiftings and blendings, 

 historical development, and present status, aiming to further a more 

 thorough acquaintance with these peoples, their characteristics and 

 capabilities, and the causes which have made them what they are. 

 The appended schedule may be subject to some changes in detail as 

 the season advances and is now necessarily incomplete as to one or 

 Two items, but will give a sufficient idea of what is to be expected, 

 the society meets at 4.30 p.m. in rooms 42-43 of the new building of 

 the National Museum on alternate Tuesdays, beginning October 2, 

 1917.
