universally regretted, and the society of which he was secretary re- 
ceived various testimonies from the anthropological societies of the 
world. Broca probably did more than any other man of his time to 
advance the science of anthropology. It was his life’s labor. He was 
a profound student, an indefatigable worker, a close and accurate ob- 
server, reported his conditions with great detail, and was thoroughly 
enamored of his science. He had that aptitude for the management 
of men, for the harmonizing of those annoying differences of opinion 
which are sometimes unfortunately made public by scientific men. 
Broca harmonized these inharmonious elements, and was recognized as 
a friend of all parties. He was entitled to and received their confidence. 
If his influence in this regard was great, his wisdom and good sense 
were greater. The society determined to erect a monument to his 
memory. The funds were furnished by public subscription, and the 
monument was installed the 29th of July, 1887, and now stands at the 
triangle between the Boulevard St. Germain and the Rue de I’ Ecole de 
la Medicine, in front of the Faculty of Medicine. It is of bronze, is of 
life size, and stands on a granite pedestal about ten or twelve feet from 
the ground. It represents the great master holding in his left hand a 
human skull, and in the other the instruments of anthropometric 
measurement. 
It is only fair to the Senate of France to say that it recognized ‘the 
claims of science to a share of the government ; that it recognized the 
important part played by scientific men in elevating France to the high 
position which she has occupied among nations. In accordance with 
this idea, and having confidence in the great good sense and wisdom 
of Broca, they elected him a senator for life. He continued in this 
office, and performed its duties, without neglecting the demands of his 
science, until the day of his death. Not only was this appointment a 
proper recognition ai wpe but it was a compliment to Broca 
directly, and incid iete d’ Anthropologie,—one which its 
members and painted te generally in France always remember 
with pride. 
The Societe d’Anthropologie early determined upon a practical 
course to make known to the world, in a permanent form, the results 
of the investigations of its members in the new science. This was by 
the publication, first of bulletins, and afterwards of memoirs. The 
bulletins were commenced on the roth of May, 1859, and have con- 
tinued until the present time. The memoirs commenced soon after, 
and have also continued until the present time. Both are published 
quarterly. The bulletins are divided into three series: the first is six
