was not the equal of that of the l'Histoire du Travail Retrospectif, 
under the direction of the Minister of Commerce and Agriculture, 
with Drs. Hamy, Topinard, and Cartailhac for managers, yet it was an 
important display, and coming as it did in the Department of Public 
Instruction, it showed opportunities to teachers to educate the people 
in this science of anthropology, especially the prehistoric, which might 
be productive of greaté#good and more far-seeing in its benefits to the 
general public than the finer and more extensive display in the other 
section. 
Any one who has any knowledge of the subject of this paper can 
scarcely fail to have remarked the absence of all note of some of the 
most celebrated writers and workers in France on anthropology. The 
reason of this can easily be made plain. This paper has been devoted 
to the Society of Anthropology and the organization and laborers con- 
nected therewith. These other gentlemen, notable by their absence, 
while members of the Society of Anthropology and affiliating there- 
‘with, belong or are attached to other institutions of the same or kin- 
dred sciences, and their work is done in connection with their own 
organizations, and so does not appear with the Society of Anthropology. 
Monsieur de Quatrefages is the Nestor of the science,—first in time, 
first in years, and first in wisdom. He is professor at the Museum of 
‘Natural History at the Jardin de Plantes. He delivers three lectures 
aweek. His publications upon this subject are numerous, profound, 
and of great value. 
There are other gentlemen eminent in science: Dr. E. Hamy, 
sevateur of the Musée of Ethnography at the Palace of the Troca- 
dero ; Monsieur Alexander Bertrand, Member of the Institute and 
Director of the Musée St. Germain; M. Solomon Rainach, his assist- 
ant; M. le Doctor Emile Riviere; Marquis Nadaillac; M. Emile 
Cartailhac. ! 
A few words as to the members of the Society of Anthropology at 
Paris, and their domicil and professors, may not be uninteresting.
