Abstract
As its inaugural President, in 1890, A.W. Howitt welcomed the establishment of an Anthropology Section within colonial Victoria's Royal Society.That tiny but optimistic group was destined to have its stability destroyed by the great economic depression of the 1890's, but in 1890 it constituted a unique combination of talent, because three of Australia's most significant anthropological pioneers held membership.In addition to public servant Howitt (1830-1908), there was his missionary collaborator, Lorimer Fison (1832-1907), while the youthful biology professor, Baldwin Spencer (1860-1929), was both secretary and editor of the Royal Society of Victoria.Their interests and objectives epitomise Australian anthropology, at least until the creation of that continent's first academic department of Anthropology, at Sydney in 1926.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
