RECENT ADVANCES IN SCIENCE 51 



''Some Australian Classes, named and nameless," by Richard 

 C. E. Long, in November ; "A Stone-headed Club from 

 Southern Kordofan," by Prof. Seligman, also in November. 

 The club, which is described and figured in this paper, is of 

 special interest, since it resembles the implements of Bushmen 

 rather than those of Negroes. Further articles are " Notes 

 on the Galla," by J. H. Phillipson in December, this author 

 having lived more than four years in East Africa ; and " Photo- 

 graphs of Welsh Anthropological Types," by H. J. Fleure, also 

 in December. The photographs here studied, which are fifty- 

 nine in number, are those of Welsh Baptist ministers, and were 

 originally collected by Dr. J. Beddoe. It is interesting to note 

 that the " Bronze- Age type " is proportionately more numerous 

 among these ministers than in the Welsh population generally, 

 which is another indication, added to many others, that this 

 type forces its way to the front in all British communities, for, 

 as the author points out, the Baptist ministers were regarded 

 as leaders of the people. 



The Royal Anthropological Institute and the Prehistoric 

 Society of East Anglia have adopted the excellent practice of 

 holding joint meetings from time to time. One such meeting 

 was held in London on March 13, 191 7. The President of the 

 East Anglian Society (Mr. A. E. Peake) delivered his Presidential 

 Address, which dealt with " Researches at Grime's Graves in 

 1 916 " : and other papers were " Plateau Deposits and Imple- 

 ments," by Reginald Smith, and " The Position of Prehistoric 

 Research in England," by J. Reid Moir ; and " The Menhirs of 

 Madagascar," by A. L. Lewis.
