day afternoon was devoted to an excursion to 

 Saleve, where President Pittard gave an in- 

 teresting talk on " Tlie Prehistoric of the 

 Environs of Geneva." Thursday afternoon 

 the city council of Geneva received at the 

 Ariana Museum ; and in the evening Professor 

 Oscar Montelius, of Stockholm, gave an illus- 

 trated lecture on " The Eelations between 

 Italy and Central Europe during the Bronze 

 Age." A tour of the Lake of Geneva (or 

 Lake Leman as the inhabitants of the Canton 

 of Vaud prefer to call it) occupied the whole 

 of Thursday with luncheon in the historic 

 Castle of Chillon offered by the state council 

 of the Canton de Vaud, and dinner on board 

 the boat offered by the local committee of the 

 congress. The city waterfront was brilliantly 

 illuminated for the return at 8 p.m. The city 

 of Geneva was hostess Friday afternoon from 

 4 to 6 at the new Museum of Art and History 

 (containing also important prehistoric collec- 

 tions). The same evening Professor Emile 

 Cartailhac lectured before a large audience in 

 Victoria Hall on " Man of the Caverns." The 

 official banquet in the foyer of the theater 

 Saturday evening offered by the state council 

 of the Republic of Geneva and followed by a 

 representation of a "Fete Montagnarde" 

 closed the festivities of the week. It was 

 made the occasion of the official announce- 

 ment of the founding of an Institute of An- 

 thropology at Geneva, that President Eugene 

 Pittard was to be the director and that in 

 addition to the professorship, ample funds 

 had been raised by private subscription to 

 meet the annual needs of such an institute. 

 In preparation for, and especially during the 

 week of the congress, Professor Pittard abun- 

 dantly demonstrated his fitness for the new 

 post to which he has been called; and Geneva 

 did well to honor him in the presence of his 

 colleagues assembled from all parts of the 

 world. 



About forty members accepted the invita- 

 tion to take part in a five days' excursion 

 (September 16-20) to important lake dwell- 

 ings and museums — Bevaix (Treytel), Neu- 

 chatel, St. Blaise, La Tene, Bienne, Bale, 

 Ziirich, Lucerne, Lausanne.
