Summary of Papers. 



Professor J. McK. Cattell made a brief report regarding psy- 

 cholosj-y at the Denver meetincr of the A. A. A. S. 



Professor G. G. MacCurdy, of Yale University, reported on

Professor Franz Boas described the facilities for anthropo- 

 logical study in Berlin, as observed by him in a recent visit.

 tains better East Indian collections than can be found in Eng- 

 land ; and it is strong in nearly all departments, notably so in 

 American and especially South and Central American anthro- 

 pology. Fifty scientific workers are engaged on these collec- 

 tions, and 16 of these are at work on American subjects. Be- 

 sides the museum, there are several other institutions in Berlin, 

 such as the Anatomical Institute of Waldeyer and the Patho- 

 logical Institute of Virchow, in which anthropological work is 

 done. 



The leader of German anthropology is \'irchow. He dis-
