386 ANNUAL RECORD OF SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY. 



Naturelles, d' Anthropologic et d'Ethnographie de Moscow, 

 of which more will be said under Ethnography, has published 

 in its Bulletins (Izvestia) a goodly number of archaeological 

 papers, especially referring to the Tumuli (Kourganes), 3000 

 of which have been opened, yielding over 10,000 objects. 

 The Royal Archaeological Commission of St. Petersburg have 

 been engaged in making a systematic investigation of the 

 antiquities of Russian territory. Their work is described 

 by Dr. John Hawelka in the Mitthcilungcn der Anthropolo- 

 gischen Gesellschaft in Wien. The same journal is devoted 

 to the archaeology of Austro-IIungary. 



The archaeology of Germany finds its exponent in the 

 Archiv filr Anthropologic, published in Brunswick ; in the 

 Zeitschrift fur Ethnologie, published in Berlin ; and in the 

 Transactions of the various branches of the German Anthro- 

 pological Society, reported monthly in the Correspondenz- 

 blatt, published in Basle, by D. Kollman. The first number 

 of the Archiv for 1878 contains a paper by Dr. Alf. Nehring, 

 on the Quaternary Fauna of Thiede and Westregeln, together 

 with Traces of Prehistoric Man. The Correspondenzblatt : , 

 No. 3, gives the report of Dr. Fraas on a Prehistoric Chart 

 of Germany; and No. 9, a stenographic report of the ninth 

 annual meeting of the German Anthropological Society, to- 

 gether with the address of the president, Dr. SchafFhausen. 



Upon Swiss archaeology, Dr. Ferdinand Keller's great 

 work on the Lake-dwellings of Switzerland and other parts 

 of Europe leaves nothing to be desired. The English trans- 

 lation, by John Edward Lee, gives to this work a deserved 

 publicity in Britain and America. Dr. Much contributes to 

 the Mittheilungen, vol. vii., p. 378, a paper on Prehistoric 

 Architecture and the Ornamentation of Human Dwellings. 



The archaeology of France and the study of archaeology in 

 France would be difficult to summarize if French savans did 

 not anticipate our wants in this direction. JSIatcriaux pour 

 VHistoire Primitive et JVaturelle de V Homme (Toulouse), 

 JBidletins de la Socicte d' Anthropologic, and especially the 

 Revue Prehistorique of the Jlevue cV Anthropologic, conducted 

 by M. de Mortillet, are indispensable alike to the student of 

 local archaeology and to the general inquirer. In addition to 

 these, many French journals publish papers on the subject, 

 notably the llevue Scientifique.
