ABSTRACT

Earology is the Study of the external ear as developed by Shri J.K. Karmakar, a former headmaster of Calcutta, and now director of the Research Institute of Earology. He claims our attention because his recent book Earology (Volume One), published at Rs. 30 by Mondal and Sons, Calcutta, contains tributes not only from the Chief Justice of the Calcutta High Court, who has presided over an earological seminar, but also from some Indian anthropologists including Professor L.P. Vidyarthi, former President of the International Union of Anthropological and Ethnological Sciences and now Chairman of its Commission on Development and its Task Force on the Future of Anthropology.
