ANTHROPOLOGY AT THE NEW YORK 3IEET- 

 ING OF THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION. 

 The anthropologists met for organization 

 in Schermerhorn Hall, Columbia Univer- 

 sity, on Monday, June 25th, at twelve 

 o'clock, Vice-President Amos W. Butler, of 

 Indianapolis, presided at this and subse- 

 quent sessions excepting that of Tuesday 

 morning. Dr. J. Walter Fewkes, Miss 

 Alice C. Fletcher and Mr. M. H. Saville 

 were elected members of the Sectional Com- 

 mittee ; Professor Joseph Jastrow — whose 

 resignation later caused a vacancy that was 

 filled by the election of Mr. Stansbury 

 Hagar — was elected a member of the Gen- 

 eral Committee, and Mr. George G. Mc- 

 Curdy was elected press secretary. As 

 Vice-President Butler's address is to be de- 

 livered at the meeting of 1901, the Section 

 adjourned on Monday afternoon to allow 

 the members an opportunity to hear the 

 Vice-Presidential addresses that were given 

 at three and four o'clock before other Sec- 

 tions. 



Arrangements having been made for a 

 meeting with the American Psychological 

 Association, the morning session of Tues- 

 day, June 26th, was presided over by Pro- 

 fessor Joseph Jastrow, president of that 

 Association, and four papers upon psycho- 

 logic subjects were read. The undesirability 

 of meetings of Section H being held in con- 

 junction with those of the Psychological 

 Association has been ably shown by the 

 secretary of the Columbus Meeting in his 

 report in this Journal. In the opinion of 

 the present writer and that of the majority 

 of the Sectional Committee it is eminently 

 desirable that close affiliation continue 

 between the Anthropologists and the Psy- 

 chologists ; but the presentation of papers 

 whose subject matter ranges from experi- 

 mental psychology to metaphysics before 

 the anthropologic Section has not proved 

 satisfactory. If the psychologists are to 

 continue in the Association they should
