The Prehistoric Civilisation of the Western Mediterranean.— 
Report of the Committee, consisting of Professor W. R1nGE- 
way (Chairman), Dr. T. AsHBy (Secretary), Dr. W. L. H. 
DuckwortH, Mr. D. G. Hocarru, Sir A. J. Evans, and 
Professor J. LL. Myres, appointed to report on the present 
state of knowledge of the Prehistoric Civilisation of the 
Western Mediterranean with a view to future research. 
(Drawn up by the Secretary.) 
Our knowledge on this subject has made considerable progress in 
recent years, though one of the main hypotheses—that of the advance 
of the so-called ‘ Mediterranean’ race (to which several scholars 
attribute the megalithic civilisation of the end of the Neolithic and 
the dawn of the Bronze Age) from North Africa—has yet to be tested 
by further research in Tripolitania and Cyrenaica, which we may hope 
that Italian archeologists will shortly be able to undertake. In the 
meantime, the megalithic remains of Malta have been studied to 
some extent by the British School at Rome, though more work might 
be profitably undertaken there; a considerable number of dolmens are 
now known in Sardinia; and a new group of them has recently been 
found in the neighbourhood of Bari, in the south-east of Italy. 
It would be important to study the intermediate links in the chain, 
which seems to connect the megalithic civilisation of the Western 
Mediterranean with that of our own islands: and the dolmens of 
Spain and Portugal might with some profit be further examined.

Tue President of Section H, Sir Richard Temple, initiated a discus-

anthropological teaching in Universities. A report of this discussion 
was printed in Man, 1918, No. 102, giving the President’s opening 
statement, extracts from letters from distinguished administrators and 
ethnologists, and an abstract of the speeches made by Sir Everard im
