12 PROCEEDINGS OF THE ANATOMICAL AND ANTHROPOLOGICAL 



ORDINARY MEETING. 

 OCTOBER, 1909. 



Professor R. W. REID, M.D., F.R.C.S., Honorary President, 



in the Chair. 



The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. 



Mr. A. V. Liley, who is engaged in missionary work in the north of Africa, 

 read a paper on " The Arabs," and he showed clearly the main characteristics of 

 that people as regards their habits, customs, and religious observances. He 

 emphasised the necessity for reform, and pointed out the limitations of their 

 civilisation. The paper was fully illustrated by beautiful lantern slides, which he 

 afterwards presented to the Anthropological Museum. 



On the motion of Professor Reid, a hearty vote of thanks was accorded to 

 Mr. Liley for his paper.
