WE print below a memorial relating to the formation of an Imperial Bureau of Anthropology, received from the Royal Anthropological Institute. The memorial was sent a few days ago to the secretary of the conference, to Mr. Asquith and each of the other Prime Ministers, and to the Colonial Secretary. Though the matter did not appear on the agenda of the Imperial Conference, we learn that the individual members of the conference are cognisant of the facts, and one or two are desirous of obtaining more information. We trust it will be possible for some action to be taken on the lines suggested by the memorial.
