REPORT on the THIRD ANNUAL ANTHROPOLOGICAL MEETINGS sponsored by KROEBER ANTHROPOLOGICAL SOCIETY The Executive Council is pleased to report that the Society's Third Annual Anthropological Meetings, held May 16, 1959, at the Alumni House of the University of California, Berkeley, met with considerable success. Over 200 persons, representing ten institutions, attended; many of these were also present at the luncheon and cocktail party which were part of the program. The attendance and character of the meetings has convinced us that the gap created by the demise of the Western States Branch of the American Anthropological Association, has been filled. The meetings have provided an opportunity for local exchange of ideas and information. We are indebted to the members of the Society whose efforts made the meetings possible, and to the Department of Anthropology for its support. Following is a list of participants and titles of papers presented, and a list of the insti-tutions represented at the meetings.
