An Anthropological Congress

Abstract

THROUGH the courtesy of a friend, I have had the opportunity of seeing a copy of a circular of invitation, dated Paris, Feb. 15, 1930, to an anthropological congress described as XV⁶ Congrès Internationale d'Anthropologie et d'Archéologie Préhistorique: IV⁶ Session de l'Institut International d'Anthropologie: Portugal, 1930. This invitation is signed by the president and secretaries of the Institut International d'Anthropologie, and is issued from its address in Paris. Among the ‘comité d'honnour’ is one of the survivors of the ‘permanent committee’ of the XIV⁶ Congrès International (Geneva, 1912); another represents Switzerland on a “comité international de préparation scientifique des sessions”; but there is no other apparent link with the older series of congresses.
