186 REPORT — 1889. 



other fruits, pigeon towers being almost as conspicuous objects here as 

 they are in the neighbourhood of Ispahan. Kourdish ravages are every- 

 where visible in the shape of ruined villages and fields neglected. Before 

 reachino- the town of Binab we tarried to lunch in a mud fort erected by 

 one Khaleel, in which the scattered inhabitants of a neighbouring ruined 

 village are gradually collecting and making for themselves mud huts. 

 They call the place Khaleelevan, and as for the traces of their old homes 

 they will soon be obliterated. 



A series of photographs has been prepared of types and local idiosyn- 

 crasies, and the Committee beg to request to be reappointed, and that a 

 sum of 501. be placed at their disposal. 



Report of the Committee, consisting of Sir Kawson Kawson, Mr. Gr. 

 W. Bloxam, General Pitt-Rivers, Dr. J. Beddoe, Dr. H. MuiR- 

 HEAD, Mr. C. Roberts, Dr. Gr. W. Hambleton, Mr. F. W. Rudler, 

 Mr. Horace Darwin, Dr. J. Gr. Gtarson, and Dr. A. M. Paterson, 

 appointed for the purpose of investigating the effects of different 

 occupations and employments on the Physical Development of 

 the Humo,n Body. 



Owing to various circumstances the work of the Committee has been 

 practically at a standstill during the past year, and the grant has not 

 been drawn. 



The Committee ask for reappointment and that the grant may be 

 renewed. 



Report of the Gomndttee, consisting of Greneral Pitt-Rivers, Dr. 

 Beddoe, Professor Flower, Mr. Francis Gtalton, Dr. E. B. 

 Tylor, and Dr. J. G. Garson, appointed for the purpose of 

 editing a new Edition of ^Anthropological Notes and Queries.^ 

 {Drawn up by the Secretary, Dr. Garson.) 



The Committee have to report that the Anthropological Institute of Great 

 Britain and Ireland readily undertook the work of editing the new edition 

 of ' Anthropological Notes and Queries,' as was recommended in the last 

 report of this Committee. 



During the year considerable progress has been made, and the Com- 

 mittee have much pleasure in placing before the Association the proof- 

 sheets of a large part of the new edition. The Editing Committee of the 

 Institute hope to have the work completed and ready for publication during 

 the course of the present year. 



The Committee have not drawn any of the grant of 50Z. placed at their 

 disposal at the Bath meeting, but liabilities have been incurred for setting 

 up in type that portion of the work now before the Association, which 

 will require to be met during the ensuing year, and money will be required 

 to meet the cost of printing the remaining portions now or about to be 

 placed in the printer's hands. The Committee therefore seek to be re- 

 appointed, and to have the grant of 50L from last year again placed at 

 their disposal. 



The Committee desire to render their best thanks to the Council of the
