III. ETHNOLOGY. 



Prof. Alexander Macalister, in his vice-presidential address before 

 Section H of the Britisli Association, regrets that there is not in our 

 literature a more definite nomenclature for the divisions of mankind, 

 and that sucli words as race, i)eople, nationality, tribe, type, stock, and 

 family are often used indiscriminately as though they were synonyms. 

 There are several collateral series of facts, the terminologies of which 

 should be discriminated: (1) Etluuc conditions whereby individuals of 

 mankind are grouped into categories of different comprehension, as 

 clans or families, as tribes or groups of allied clans, and as nations, the 

 inhabitants of restricted areas under one i)olitical organization — Eth- 

 nology. (2) Individuals regarded as descendants of a limited num- 

 ber of original parents, each person having his place on the genea- 

 logical tree of humanity. As the successive branches were subjected 

 to diverse environments, they have differentiated in characteristics. 

 To each of these subdivisions, is applied the name of Eace. [Haeckel 

 terms this study anthropogony.j (3) The third category is that of lan- 

 guage, sometimes conterminous, but it is as absurd to speak of an Aryan 

 skull as of a brachycephalic language. — Nature, London, 1892, August 

 18, p. 379. 



The British Association appointed a committee to organize an eth- 

 nographical survey of the United Kingdom. The committee, in pur- 

 suance of the object for which they had been delegated by the Society 

 of Antiquaries of London, the Folk-lore Society and the Anthropolog- 

 ical Institute, and appointed by the British Association, propose to 

 record for certain typical villages and the neighboring districts, (1) 

 Physical types of the inhabitants; (2) current traditions and beliefs; 

 (3) peculiarities of dialect; (4) monuments and other remains of an- 

 cient culture; (5) historical evidence as to continuity of race.
