Fellow AI<br />1899 Rudler's Presidential address: Although he died on September 11, 1897, I maybe pardoned for referring to him in this place, inasmuch as the death accidentally escaped record last year. Dr. Welcker will be remembered by his numerous originalc ontributions to physical anthropology, especially by his study of the skull. He co-operated with Professors Ecker and Lindenschmidt and other anthropologists in founding, in 1866, theArchiv fur Anthropologie, a journal which he enriched by a number of valuable papers; his last essay having been published there last spring, as a posthumous paper. Professor Welcker, at the time of his death, was in the seventy-sixthy ear of his age.
