The address of the president of the Section, Prof. D. J. Cunningham, F.R.S., dealt with the human brain, and the part which it has played in the evolution of man, and is to be found in full in NATURE of Sep. tember 26, p. 539. The rest of the programme was planned as follows: Thursday morning and Monday afternoon were devoted to physical anthropology, which was represented by an unusual number of highly specialist papers; Tuesday to ethnography, chiefly American and Malayan; Friday and Monday morning to archaeology; and Wednesday to anthropometry and folklore. The principal papers are classified lelow in order of their subject-matter.
