ANTHROPOLOGY ON THE CONTINENT OF EUROPE IN WAR-TIME

Abstract

AS has already been reported in Nature of May 18, p. 665, the Permanent Council of the International Congress of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences visited England during April at the invitation of the Royal Anthropological Institute, and a most success meeting was organised at Oxford by Sir John Myres one of the joint secretaries of the Con-gfewVto mal arrangements for next full meeting and to advance the work of the standing committees. The Royal Anthropological Institute took advantage of this gathering to invite the delegates to read short papers at informal meetings of the Institute in London, on the days immediately preceding and following the Oxford meetings, as a means of making better known in Britain and among the delegates themselves the progress made in anthropological science in their several countries since the outbreak of war brought international contacts to a stop. Eleven of the delegates accepted this invitation, and in addition two of the delegates delivered during their visits the Huxley Memorial Lectures for 1941 and 1945.
