ANTHROPOLOGY. 387 



In the October number of the Revue d" 1 Anthropologic, we 

 have three papers, prepared with the greatest care, and giv- 

 ing a resume of the subject of archaeology at the French Ex- 

 position. The communications are entitled : Rapport sur la 

 Paleoethnologie Temps Geologiques, par M. Gabriel de 

 Mortillet ; Rapport sur la Paleoethnologie Periode Neo- 

 lithique, ou de la Pierre Polie, par M. Emile Cartailhac (this 

 paper has a list of all the neolithic collections on exhibition); 

 Rapport sur la Paleoethnologie Periode du Bronze et Pre- 

 mier Age du Fer, par M. Edward Chantre. Reports on the 

 same subject will be found in the September number of the 

 Contemporary Review, in the files of the Revue Scientifique, 

 and of the Athe?ueum. The energy and skill with which the 

 conductors managed the exhibition, as well as the prompt- 

 ness with which their demands were met, render this the 

 greatest object-lesson on antiquity which the world will wit- 

 ness for many years. The work of M. Chantre on the Bronze 

 Age in France is reviewed in the Revue Scientifique for 

 April 6, pp. 933-941. 



Archaeology in Italy is reviewed in the Academy for Jan- 

 uary 12. The Revue oV Anthropologic also notices works and 

 papers of merit on the same subject. Dr. Schliemann, not 

 content with having brought to lisrht two famous cities of 

 antiquity, writes a letter to the Times, an abstract of which 

 is in Nature for October 3, describing his search for the an- 

 cient capital of the island of Utica. 



Mr. Julius Schubrinsc has written several letters to the 

 Athenaeum during the year upon the Excavations at Olym- 

 pia. In the number for November 23, he commences a series 

 of papers on the Olympian Exhibition at Berlin. The same 

 journal produces a number of interesting sketches upon the 

 island of Cyprus, concerning which a renewed interest has 

 been awakened through its acquisition by the British gov- 

 ernment. 



The subject of archaeology, and of prehistoric man in gener- 

 al, has been the theme of many able discussions and treatises. 

 Dr. Paul Boca delivered an address upon the Fossil Races of 

 Europe at the opening of the French Association at Havre ; 

 Dr. A. Ecker contributes to the Archiv, I. and II., a paper on 

 Prehistoric Art; Professor Max Miiller treats of Ancient 

 Times and Ancient Men in Macmillarfs Magazine for June;
