From 1873-75, members of Societe d'anthropologie de Paris participated in first of many anxious discussions of declining French birthrate. Following a call to action by Louis-Adolphe Bertillon, statistician for city of Paris, a major presentation by Dr. Gustave Lagneau, and lengthy debate, members agreed that problem was result of the very natural preoccupation of a father to assure future of his children. ' When one listener, economist Sanson, argued that topic was more appropriate for economists than for anthropologists, Lagneau responded that discussing depopulation was perfectly within jurisdiction of Societe d'anthropologie [and belonged] to our society more than any other. 2
