Abstract
SECTION H.: ANTHROPOLOGY. OPENING ADDRESS BY LIEUTENANT-GENERAL PITT-RIVERS, D.C.L., F.R.S., F.G.S., F.S.A., PRESIDENT OF THE SECTION. I. HAVING been much occupied up to within the last week in my own special branch of anthropology, and in bringing out the second volume of my excavations in Dorsetshire, which I wished to have ready for those who are interested in the subject on the occasion of this meeting, I regret that I have been unable to prepare an address upon a general subject as I could have wished to do, and am compelled to limit my remarks to matters on which I have been recently engaged. Also, I wish to make a few observations on the means to be taken to promulgate anthropological knowledge and render it available for the education of the masses.
