REPORT OE THE ANTHROPOMETRIC COMMITTEE. 231 



find as many species as I at one time expected, as by study I shall find 

 specimens which I thought different to be tho same species. Concerning new 

 species I cannot form any idea until the completion of my work of deter- 

 mination. 



I found tho arrangements of the institution were thoroughly well adapted 

 for any one wishing to follow up the systematic study of any group of smaller 

 animals. 1 have already called attention in one or two places to the library, 

 Avhich although very good for embryology, is not at all satisfactory for those 

 who wish to determine the fauna or flora on the spot, and it is to be hoped 

 that it will receive such additions from authors as will make it much more 

 complete. 



I have also said that I should advise any naturalist who intends to study 

 there, to previously obtain the catalogue that he may know what books that 

 he is in the habit of using ho had better bring with him. 



After using the British Association table I became connected with the 

 institution for a short time, and made a beginning for a museum by putting 

 aside specimens from various groups for this purpose. Dr. Dohrn's report 

 will probably give latest particulars as to what has been done in this direc- 

 tion. At the time that I left a good number of Crustacea, Tunicata, and other 

 animals had been determined by Prof. Heller and others, and I completed a 

 Catalogue of all the Echinodermata in the collection, which I had given some 

 study to during my stay. 



My experience gained during tho few months I was in Naples makes me 

 say in the most emphatic manner that this is a most useful institution, and if 

 there are (as there doubtless always will be) zoologists who are anxious to 

 avail themselves of it, then the grant of £75 by the British Association is 

 one which it is to be hoped, in the interest of science, they will continue. 



Yours truly, 



Arthur War. Waters.

Report of the Anthropometric Committee, consisting of Dr. Beddoe, 

 Lord Aberdare, Dr. Farr, Mr. Francis Galton, Sir Henry 

 Rawlinson, Colonel Lane Fox, Sir Rawson Rawson, Mr. James

 Lawson, Dr. Mouat, Capt. Dillon, and Mr. lledgrave. 



A report on measurements of the 2nd ltoyal Surrey Militia at Guildford 

 by Col. A. Lane Fox has been received, and has been published in the ' Jour- 

 nal of the Anthropological Institute ; ' a hundred copies of this paper have 

 been retaiued for the use of the Committee. 



Schedules of measurements filled in by Dr. Farr, Mr. Redgrave, and other
