Abstract
IN a lecture delivered in January last year at the John Rylands Library, Manchester, and recently available (Bull. John Rylands Library, vol. 17, No. 2. Separates, Manchester University Press, Is. net) Prof. H. J. Fleure puts forward a tentative correlation of the evidence of archæology, human palæontology and ethnology. Prof. Fleure aims at showing that certain phases of culture may be associated with certain physical types of man in the past, arid that, subject to the reservation that modification of culture may have taken place from outside, this association still holds good in modern representatives of, or approximations to, these ancient physical types. He also suggests the possible lines along which races have attained their present distribution.
