and discoveries everywhere. The "Gazette des Beaux 

 Arts" occupies a similar position in the more restricted 

 field of art history. The "Bulletin Monumental" does 

 the same, but mainly for France. The most sumptuous 

 medium for the publication of important works of historic 

 art is supplied by the folios of the "Monuments Piot," 

 an endowed periodical of the Academic des Inscriptions, 

 whose only rival is the "Denkmaler" of the German 

 Institute. Prehistoric studies are best represented in 

 "L'Anthropologie" and the "Revue de 1'Ecole d'Anthro- 

 pologie." The "Annales du Musee Guimet" make a 

 specialty of the Far East; so does the "Bulletin de 

 1'Ecole francaise de 1'Extreme-Orient." Other Eastern 

 spheres are taken care of in the "Revue figyptologique," 

 the "Revue d'Assyriologie," the "Revue d' Archeologie 

 Orientale," the "Revue Semitique" and the "Memoires" 

 of the Mission au Caire. 



Special subjects have their organs also, as the "Revue 

 fipigraphique" and "L'Annee fipigraphique"; the 

 "Revue de Numismatique," and the "Gazette Numis- 

 matique francaise." Several reviews not strictly archaeo- 

 logical have a strong archaeological section, such as the 

 "Revue de 1'Histoire des Religions." Each of the 

 Archaeological Schools has its special review: that at 

 Athens, the "Bulletin de Correspondance Hellenique"; 

 that at Rome, the "Melanges d'Archeologie et 

 d'Histoire." Both are devoted largely to Greek and 

 Roman studies, but give a fair share to the Christian 

 period. A very special review is the "Revue de TArt 

 Chretien." Devoted to France almost exclusively is 

 "L'Ami des Monuments."
