350 REPORTS ON THE STATE OF SCIENCE. 



front side observations on anatomical, physiological, and psychological 

 characters are recorded ; on the back are recorded factors of the environ- 

 ment, the results of medical inspection, and miscellaneous data that may 

 be of interest. On the face of the envelope containing the cards are 

 recorded the name, birthplacii, and other more or less permanent data, 

 also the numbers of schedules of any relativi&s of the subject who may 

 have been measured. Such entries will render it possible to institute 

 comparisons between members of the same stock reared under different 

 environments, and, as the records accumulate, to form tables (correlation 

 tables) illustrating the intensity of the resemblance between relatives. 



The Committee have not been able this year, as proposed in last report, 

 to publish anything on the subject of instruments. They hope, if re- 

 appointed, to deal with this subject next year. 



The Committee hope also to prepare at an early date a book of 

 instructions in anthropometry, which would be available to teachers and 

 others, to enable them to make measurements and enter them in the 

 schedules. The anatomical illustrations prepared l)y the Chairman would 

 be made use of in these instructions. The Committee is considering 

 whether this code of instructions should be issued in a form suitable for 

 inclusion in the next edition of the Association's ' Notes and Queries in 

 Anthropology.' 



The Committee proposes further to draw up instructions for photo- 

 gr.aphing typical examples of the population in different localities, and 

 to illustrate the methods proposed by a practical instance. 



A meeting of the Sub-Coraniittee was held at the Anthropological 

 Institute on October 9 last. 



The Committee have again to thank the Anthropological Institute 

 for providing them with headquarters and granting permission to hold 

 meetings in their rooms. 



The Committee desire to be reappointed, with instructions to continue 

 the work indicated in the above report : and, if so reappointed, ask for a 

 grant of !•'')/., in addition to an unexpended lialanco of 11. 17i<\ ?>fh left over 

 from the grant of last year.
