The committee of the Australian and New Zealand Association for the Advance ment of Science has decided to hold the next meeting of the Association at Mel bourne in January of next year, when many scientists of international reputation will be in Victoria in connection with the Centenary celebrations.
The anthropological section (section “F”) is receiving much attention and a broad and interesting programme is being drawn up by the secretary of this division (Mr. Mitchell, of the National Museum staff, Melbourne). Authoritative papers on the value of anthropology in relation to native administration, the breakdown of primitive native institutions, and the func tion of education —with special refer ence to the place of missions in this con nection—etc., will be contributed by prom inent anthropological workers in the Pacific Islands.
