Abstract
A BRIEF note must suffice to direct attention to this excellent and much-needed textbook of physical anthropology. The treatment is comprehensive, each aspect, biological, morphological, palontological, evolutionary, and so forth, being covered. Methods are fully explained, the exposition being accompanied by numerous diagrams, and the present position of our knowledge on the main questions outlined. The section on race is well illustrated by distinctive types, and some attention is given to the neglected question of cross-breeds and hybrids.
