Die zehnts allgemeine Versammlimg der 



deutschen Gresellschaft für Anthropologie, 



Ethnologie und Urgeschichte 



zu Strassburg am 11. — 14. August 1879. 

 Von Professor Dr. 0. F. Fraas in Stuttgart, M. A. N. 



Als in der acht deutschen Stadt Kiel im August 

 1878 von der Wahl Strassburgs zum Ort der nächsten 

 Versammlung die Rede war, konnte man diese und 

 jene ängstliche Stimme vernehmen, das Gelingen der 

 Versammlung sei bei der dermahgen Stimmung der 

 Bevölkerung in EIsass-Lothringen sehr in Frage ge-

 rischen Forschungen, das seit alten Zeiten im Elsass 

 besteht, und bei dem ausdrücklichen Wunsche der 

 Strassburger Behörden und Freunde der Gesellschaft 

 nahm man jedoch keinen Anstand, die alte Völker- 

 brücke von Gallien und Germanien zum Versammlungs- 

 orte zu wählen. Der Erfolg hat auch wirklich diese 

 Wahl gerechtfertigt; zählen doch die Tage von Strass- 

 burg mit zu den gelungensten Tagen, welche die 

 Gesellschaft während ihres zehnjährigen Bestandes er- 

 lebt hat. 



Was seit einigen Jahren schon beobachtet werden 

 konnte, trat auch in Strassburg deutlich zu Tage. 

 Es ist die Thatsache, dass unter den drei Doctrinen, 

 welche die Gesellschaft programmgemäss pflegt, die 

 letzte der dreien, die der Urgeschichte, präponderirt. 

 War z. B. in Jena oder in München die eigentliche 

 Anthropologie, namentlich was den menschlichen Schädel
