ON PROGRESS OF ANTHROPOLOGICAL TEACHING. 419 
Academic Status of Anthropology and General Facilities for Study and 
Research.—In_ the University of London, Anthropology may be offered in 
Honours and Pass Examinations for the degrees of B.A. and B.Sc., and as an 
optional subject in the B.A. Honours course in Geography; it is recognised as 
a subject for the degrees of M.A., M.Sc., D.Litt., D.Sc., and Ph.D., for the 
Diploma of Psychology, and for the College Certificate in Egyptology. An 
attempt is now being made by the constituent Colleges to make full provision 
for teaching and research in all departments of Anthropology. The Royal 
Anthropological Institute, on the invitation of the British Association and other 
bodies interested in anthropological studies, has established a joint committee, 
on which such bodies are entitled to be represented, with the object of ensuring 
to students from the Dominions and foreign countries all needful facilities for 
their researches, and information as to material available in public archives 
and in private collections. 
Manchester.—The Victoria University has a small collection of typical crania, 
a large collection illustrating the arts and crafts of primitive peoples, and 
_ important Egyptian material. Laboratory accommodation can be provided for 
research students, but there is no Department of Anthropology, nor recognised 
teachers; occasional courses of lectures are given, however, on some branches 
of the subject. 
Nottingham.—The University College has a working collection of human 
osteology and of stone implements. The Professor of Geology, Dr. H. H. 
Swinnerton, and the Lecturer in Physiology, Miss H. J. Hutchinson, give 
instruction on Physical Anthropology, and the Lecturer in Geography, Mr. 
C. G. Beasley, in Ethnography and Social Anthropology. The Distribution of 
_ Man is a subject in the Honours Course in Geography for the degree of B.A. 
Oxford.—The University has important collections of Physical Anthropology, 
in its Department of Human Anatomy; of ethnographical material, in the Pitt- 
Rivers Museum and the Indian Institute; and of the antiquities of the Mediter- 
ranean and ancient East and of the Oxford district, in the Ashmolean Museum. 
There is laboratory accommodation for research students in the Departments 
of Human Anatomy and Social Anthropology. The Bodleian and Radcliffe 
Libraries, the Tylor Library of Anthropology, and the departmental libraries 
of the Ashmolean, Pitt-Rivers Museum, and School of Geography are open to 
members of the University and to other students duly recommended. 
Research students desiring facilities for their work, or information on the 
subject of it, should communicate with the Secretary of the Committee for 
Anthropology. 
_ Regular courses are announced in Physical Anthropology by the Professor 
of Anatomy, Dr. A. Thomson, and by the Lecturer in Physical Anthropology, 
‘Mr. L. H. Dudley Buxton; in Ethnography, by the Curator of the Pitt-Rivers 
Museum, Mr. Henry Balfour; in Prehistoric Archeology, by Mr. E. T. Leeds, 
Assistant Keeper of the Ashmolean Museum; and in Social Anthropology, by 
the Reader, Dr. R. R. Marett. Informal instruction is given and occasional 
public courses are offered on the anthropological aspects of their respective 
subjects by University teachers of Geology, Geography, Ancient History, Juris- 
prudence, Prehistoric and Classical Archeology, Egyptology, Assyriology, and 
the principal Oriental languages. These are announced in the terminal pro- 
grammes of the Committee for Anthropology, and in the lecture lists of the 
Faculties of Literee Humaniores, Law, Oriental"Languages, and Natural Science. 
The Oxford Architectural and Historical Society has its library and records 
in the Ashmolean Museum, and assists students in regional survey work. 
_ There is no Honour Course in Anthropology for the degree of B.A., but the 
Diploma in Anthropology is awarded on courses of study of at least one year, 
and this Diploma is reckoned as equivalent to two of the three subjects reyaired 
for the ordinary degree; the third subject must be one of the languages pre- 
scribed by regulations. Separate Certificates are awarded for proficiency in 
Physical and in Cultural Anthropology (Technological or Social), each equivalent 
to one such subject for the degree of B.A. Anthropological research is 
admissible for the degrees of B.Litt., B.Se., and Ph.D. 
Special provision has been made from time to time for officers of the 
public services who have been sent by the Colonial Office for short courses of
