SCIENCE. 



899 



holtz -was absent in 'Europe, and Dr. A. 

 Hrdlieka engaged in field-work. 



A pleasant and commendable feature of 

 the congress was the fact that all the time 

 was not taken iip by the reading of papers 

 and the transaction of routine business, the 

 evenings, when not devoted to some social 

 courtesy extended to the members by indi- 

 viduals' or institutions, being left free to 

 be spent in that personal intercourse and 

 discussion of topics of a common interest 

 which so often do even more for science 

 than the formal exercises of a great meet- 

 ing. IMen of science, no less than other 

 human beings, are frequently at their best 

 during the after-dinner hour.
