 St. Petersburgh organi/.id a (lorman Anthropological Asso- 

 ciation, {(',) which was tt) nici-t every sccoml year in a 

 German city. Its lirst meeting was held at (iiHtingcn, hut 

 the death ol' Warner, which took place soon after. interru|'ted 

 its further progress. 



In 1S63, arose the Anthro]>ulogieal Society of London (/.) 

 It was formed l)y the secession of a large number of mem- 

 bers of the I'^thnological Society, and speedily became so 

 successful that it at one time numbered 800 members. It 

 continued to exist under its original title until 1871, when 

 the Ethnological Society consented to unite itself with its 

 ambitious oiispring and the designation assumed by the 

 united associations was: The Anthropological In.stitute of 

 Great Britain and Ireland (g.) The Ethnological Society 

 published 13 volumes of Transactions; the Anthropological 

 Society published *-> volumes, and the Journal of the An- 

 thropological Institute has now entered on its twelfth year. 



In 1805, the Anthropological Society of Madrid (h) was 

 established, its first meeting being held on December 17. 

 Owing to political complications, so common in that un- 

 happy country, and to the opposition of the jtricsthood, no 

 further meetings were permitted, and the Society, which 

 had attained a membership of 300, continued in a languish- 

 ing condition until February, 18G9, when its second meeting 

 took place. 



In Moscow, in 186G, the Society of the Friends of Nature 

 {i) established a .section of anthropology. Endowed with 

 ample revenues this .section has been as efficient as if it had 

 been an inde|)endent society. It possesses a valuable museum 

 and. in 18()7. a brilliant exposition of anthropology took 

 phuH' under its management. 



In 18G8, the Berlin Society (tf Anihroi)ology (/» was or- 

 ganized and speedily attained foremost rank from thr im- 

 jtortance and extent of its investigations. Vinhow, the 

 illustrious physiologist, statesman and .scholar, still presides 

 over its meetings. The Society publishes the .lournal of 

 Ethnology.
