1866 



BESIDES his Fullerian lectures on Ethnology at the 

 Eoyal Institution this year, Huxley published in 

 February 1866 a paper in the Natural History Review, 

 on the "Prehistoric Remains of Caithness," based 

 upon a quantity of remains found the previous 

 autumn at Keiss. This, and the article on the 

 "Neanderthal Skull" in the Natural History Review 

 for 1864, attracted some notice among foreign 

 anthropologists. Dr. H. Welcker writes about 

 them ; Dr. A. Ecker wants the " Prehistoric 

 Remains " for his new Archiv fur Anthropologie ; 

 the Societe d'Anthropologie de Paris elects him 

 a Foreign Associate. 



He was asked by Dr. Fayrer to assist in a great 



scheme he had proposed to the Asiatic Society, 1 to 



gather men of every tribe from India, the Malayan 



Peninsula, Persia, Arabia, the Indian Archipelago, 



etc., for anthropological purposes. It was well 



received by the Council of the Society and by the 



1 Comp. Chap. XXIII. ad init. and Appendix I.
