4 8o SCIENCE PROGRESS 



Amongst the other papers in the Proceedings are " The Norfolk 

 Sub-Crag Implements," by Mr. W. G. Clarke, and " The 

 Pliocene Deposits of South-east England," by Mr. W. J. Lewis 

 Abbot. 



The present year has been notable for the fact that an 

 anthropologist has been President of the British Association. 

 Sir Arthur Evans's Inaugural Address was entitled " New 

 Archaeological Lights on the Origin of Civilisation in Europe ; 

 its Magdalenian forerunners in the South-West and iEgean 

 Cradle." The address dealt, as will be gathered from its title, 

 with the more recent parts of the Prehistoric Period. The 

 President showed that recent discoveries had brought out the 

 fact that culture was much older than had been supposed until 

 quite recently, and that, in particular, our Magdalenian pre- 

 decessors in Europe were more advanced than used to be 

 believed. The address is reported in Nature of September 7.
