 Soc, I, 545). In summiug* up the evidence, Dr. Evans says that the 

 present verdict as to Tertiary man must be in the form of " not proven.'' 

 The latter piirt of the address is devoted to the question of the Aryan 

 language and the Aryan race and to the improved resources of anthro- 

 pological study. Papers were read upon the following topics: Hered- 

 itism, F. O. Morris; Religion of the Australian aborigines, J. W. Faw- 

 cett ; The present aspect of the jade question, F. W. Kudler; Is there 

 a break in mental evolution? Lady Welby ; Unidentitied peoples in 

 Britain in pre-Roman times, Dr. Pheue ; Yourouks of Asia Minor, T. 

 Beut; Aryan cradle land, J. Stuart Glennie ; Reversions,, Nina Layard ; 

 Physical development, G. W. Hambleton; Archteological remains 

 bearing on the origin of the Anglo-Saxons in England, Dr. Munro; 

 Duggleby "Howe," E. Maure Cole; Romano British graveyard in Wet- 

 wang-with-Fimber, J. R. Mortimer; Minute neolithic implements, H. 

 C. March ; Retrogression in prehistoric civilization in Thames Valley,

The British Association committees form an active part of the 

 general meetings. Upon anthropological subjects were the Report 

 upon the new edition of the little handbook for collectors entitled 

 Notes and Queries; Report of the committee on anthropometric 

 laboratory; On prehistoric inhabitants of Britain; On nomad tribes 

 of Asia Minor; On northwestern tribes of Canada ; On India. The 

 British Association for the Advancement of Science, cooperating with 

 the Anthropological Institute of London, organized a lecture course on 

 anthropology, differing from the Paris course not only in being less 

 technical, but also in the repetition of the lectures before institutions 

 and before the public in various cities throughout the United Kingdom. 

 The series was as follows : 



(1) Physical anthropology. By Dr. Garson. 



(2) The geological history of man. By F. W. Rudler. 



(3) Prehistoric dwellings, tombs, and monuments. By A. L. 

 Lewis. 



(4) Development of the arts of life. By Henry Balfour. 



(5) Social institutions. By E. W. Brabrook. 



(6) Anthropometry. By G. W. Bloxam. 



During the current year the beneficent results of the Paris Exposition 

 began to appear, especially in the form of reports on the various con- 

 gresses. Of the tenth session of Congres international d'Anthropologie 

 et d'Archeologie prehistoriques, M. Hamy, Membre de I'Institut, and 

 general secretary of the congress, ])repared the Compte Rendu, a
