1915 HML In 1915 the Council invited M. Emile Cartailhac to deliver the Huxley Lecture for the year, but in view of the inconvenience to which M. Cartailhac would have been subjected in coming over to England for the purpose, the matter was held in abeyance for the time. It was later decided by the Council that M. Cartailhac should be presented with the Huxley Medal, without regard to the delivery of an address before the Institute. Arrangements are being made for the presentation of the medal under suitable circumstances

Notes From Elsewhere

Émile Cartailhac (15 February 1845, Marseille – 26 November 1921, Geneva) was a French prehistorian, one of the founding fathers of the studies of the cave art. He is perhaps best remembered because of his involvement with the Altamira paintings.
