Section I. — Anthropological Display. 



It is only with the first section that I have to deal at present — 

 the anthropologic sciences and ethnography. This was placed in the 

 hands of a committee and again divided into three portions. Dr. Top- 

 iuard had the principal direction of that portion relating to general an- 

 thropology with Dr. Magitot in charge of a subsection of criminal an- 

 thropology. M. Cartailhac to archaeology and prehistoric anthropol- 

 ogy. M. Ilamy to ethnography. This division was one of theory and 

 science more than of practice, for the objects themselves were not thus 

 divided, and these gentlemen acted more as a committee than sepa- 

 rately.

 archaeology, and ethnography.

 for physical and physiological observations; instruments of crani-
