    PREFACE Early in the present year it was resolved to com- memorate the seventy-fifth birthday of Dr. E. B. Tylor by presenting to him a volume of anthropological essays. If the volume is not entirely representative of English anthropology at the present day, the cause is to be sought in the short period available for the ])reparation of the essays and in the desire of all to give nothing which might seem to fall short of their best work. But in this oftering are associated both those who contribute to the volume and others who, from lack of opportunity, were unable to lay a gift before the greatest of English anthropologists. The responsibility for the collection of the essays was confided to the committee whose signatures appear above, but the actual work of editing the volume and seeing it through the press has lain almost entirely in the able hands of Mr. Thomas.
