ON INVESTIGATIONS tN SARDINIA. 993 
Dr. Mackenzie and Mr. Newton intend to go to Sardinia, in Septem- 
ber, for six weeks in order to continue the exploration of the island. The 
importance of anthropometrical work in connection with the problems 
presented by the early civilisation of Sardinia was pointed out in a previous 
_report of this Committee. Mr. W. H. L. Duckworth, a member of the 
Committee, went to Rome last April and studied the collection of a 
hundred Sardinian crania in the Collegio Romano. He made about 1,200 
measurements, and is preparing a report which will serve as a basis of 
comparison with any collection of ancient crania that may be obtained. 
In addition to these specimens, which had not been described previously, 
Mr. Duckworth has examined about thirty Sardinian crania in the 
museums of Rome and Paris. He has recently spent ten days in 
Corsica, where he obtained valuable illustrative material, and hopes to 
take part in Dr. Mackenzie’s expedition to Sardinia in September next. 
The Committee ask to be reappointed, and apply for a grant. 
The Hacavation of Neolithic Sites in Northern Greece.—Report 
of the Committee, consisting of Professor W. RIDGEWAY 
(Chairman), Professor J. Lu. Myrus (Secretary), Mr. J. P. 
Droop, and Mr. D. G. HoGartH. 
Tue Committee were appointed at Dublin, but received no grant: it was 
therefore impossible to undertake the proposed expedition to Thessaly. 
Those students of the British School of Archeology in Athens who had 
made the preliminary explorations reported at the Dublin meeting were, 
however, enabled by grants from the British School, and from the Liver- 
pool University Institute of Archeology, to make excavations on fresh 
sites at Lianokladi and near the ancient Kierium. ‘The results of these 
excavations will be published in the ‘ Liverpool Annals of Archeology 
and Anthropology ’ and in the ‘ Annual of the British School at Athens. 
The Committee ask to be reappointed with a grant in aid of further 
inquiries in the same district. 
The Ductless Glands.—Report of the Committee, consisting of 
Professor SCHAFER (Chairman), Professor SWALE VINCENT 
(Secretary), Professor A. B. Macanttum, Dr. Ll. E. SHore, 
and Mrs. W. H. THompson. (Drawn wp by the Secretary.) 
Tue work has been divided as follows: Mrs. Thompson has con- 
tinued her investigations upon the comparative anatomy and histology 
of the thyroids and parathyroids. Dr. Halpenny has been engaged 
in experimental work upon the same organs. Dr. Young has performed 
a further series of experiments of the same character as those which 
were reported last year by him and by Dr. Lehmann. Dr. Leeming 
and Mr. McKenty and Prof. Vincent have been occupied with the study
