tribntion of aboriginal relics, and of locating on an archae- 

 ological map the permanent remains of every kind in North 

 America. 



The eleventh annual report of the Peabody Museum at 

 Cambridge is an important addition to our archaeological 

 literature. The inauguration of the new building offers an 

 occasion for the history of the institution. Dr. Charles C. 

 Abbott makes his second report upon the Palaeolithic Imple- 

 ments from the " Drift," in the valley of the Delaware, near 

 Trenton, N. J. Dr. Hoffman has collected a great number of 

 similar implements from the gravel beds near Uniontown, in 

 the District of Columbia ; and Mr. A. F. Berlin, of Reading, 

 Pa., has made similar discoveries in that place, an account of 

 which is printed in the first number of the American Anti- 

 quarian. The subject of Implements in the Drift is also dis- 

 cussed by Mr. Thomas Belt, in the Quarterly Journal of Sci- 

 ence for January. The Peabody Museum Report has a de- 

 tailed account of Archaeological Explorations in Tennessee, 

 by F. W. Putnam, the curator of the museum. The paper is 

 profusely illustrated and accompanied by a map of an earth- 

 work on the Lindsley estate, Lebanon, Tenn., which the au-

 on a Collection from the Ancient Cemetery on the Bay of 

 Chacota, Peru. 



The Davenport Academy, Iowa, has not been idle in archae- 

 ological matters. The forthcoming report, in addition to the 

 usual amount of mound literature, will contain the account 

 of another tablet. 



Quite a number of archaeological papers were read at the 

 American Association, St. Louis. Indeed, owing to the prox- 

 imity of the city to the material, section B was nearly ab- 

 sorbed by discussions upon Prehistoric Man. Two papers 

 of enduring interest were read. One, by Ad. F. Bandelier, 

 was on the Sources for Aboriginal History of Spanish Amer- 

 ica; the other, by Hon. J. G. Henderson, upon Ancient 

 Mound 8 in Illinois. Mound Explorations in Southeastern 

 Missouri are described by Mr. C. Croswell in the Transactions 

 of the St. Louis Academy. In the October number of the
