Abstract
FURTHER details of Miss Caton-Thompson's excavations in Rhodesia on behalf of the British Association have now reached England by mail. They confirm the brief outline of her results conveyed by cable. The detailed evidence contained in the report presented to Section H (Anthropology) when the Association met at Johannesburg may be taken to place the question of the origin and dating of the Zimbabwe ruins beyond dispute. Miss Caton-Thompson's report was presented to a crowded audience, among whom was the president of the Association, Sir Thomas Holland, and not only was it necessary that it should be relayed, but also the lecture had to be repeated afterwards at an evening meeting.
