 anthropology is overshadowed by ethnology. Papers on 

 Flint Implements in Ireland, at Cissbury, and in the valley 

 of the Axe, occur in the numbers of the Journal for 1878. 

 In Nature, for August 22, is a review of Greenwell's work on 

 British Barrows; and in the same number, Professor Huxley's 

 address before the Anthropological Section of the British As- 

 sociation at Dublin. The most meagre report of the meeting

 charge. Papers on Danish Antiquities are to be found in 

 the Correspondcnzblatt, especially in No. 3, pp. 18, 19 ; and in 

 the Proceedings of the Society of Northern Antiquaries.
