The Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute

THE new volume of the Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute is dedicated, on the occasion of his seventy-fifth birthday, to Prof. E. B. Tylor, of whom a fine portrait forms the frontispiece. The dedication dwells on his classical contributions to the science of anthropology—his “Researches into the Early History of Mankind” and “Primitive Culture”—works which enjoy the almost unique distinction of never having been super seded by the studies of later writers; on his career as professor of anthropology at Oxford, where, as the result of his teaching and personal initiative, a diploma course in the science has been established; and on the generous encouragement bestowed by him on the students of a younger generation. This compliment to a scholar who stands in the foremost rank is graceful and well deserved.
