Abstract
READERS of NATTJBE will have in mind the recent criticisms of the international standing of the congresses in archæology and anthropology which have been held since the War under the auspices of the Institut International d'Anthropologie of Paris. These were summarised in the leading article in our issue of Mar. 1. In the recently issued announcement of the Congress to be held in Portugal on Sept. 21–30 next, it would now appear that the promoters hope to meet objections which have been raised on the ground that the Congress is not truly international in character by indicating that this congress will be a continuation of the older series of the International Congresses in Anthropology and Prehistoric Archæology, of which the last was held at Geneva in 1912. The invitation is issued jointly by the Conseil permanent du Congres International d'Anthropologie et d'Archéologie Préhistorique and the Institut International d'Anthropologie. It is announced as the “xve Congrès International d'Anthropologie et d'Archéologie Préhistorique” and the “ive Session de l'Institut International d'Anthropologie”; finally, it is pointed out that the meeting coincides with the fiftieth anniversary pf the Congress held in Lisbon in 1880.
