ANTHROPOLOGY. 395 



On South American ethnography we have to notice the Trav- 

 els of Dr. Habel, mentioned in "Smithsonian Report," 1877, 

 pp. 13-16 ; the work of Mr. Bates, published in London, with 

 an appendix by A. H. Keane ; the Description of the Quich- 

 uas of Ecuador, in Globus, p. 380 ; a Sketch of the Zaparos, 

 by Mr. Alfred Simpson, Journal of the Anthropological Insti- 

 tute, Oct. ; the Indians of Peru, by F. L. Gait, " Smithsonian 

 Report," 1877, p. 308 ; and Die Lebensweise und Gerlithe der 

 sudchilenischen Indianer, Correspondenzblatt, No. 1. 



Europe. 



Scandinavian ethnography at the Paris Exposition, includ- 

 ing the exhibit of the Stockholm Ethnographic Museum, the 

 models of M. Scederman, and the Finnish Group in charge of 

 M. Aspelin, is spoken of in the highest terms. In addition to 

 photographs and thousands of culture-historical objects, lay 

 figures, in groups, were dressed in their appropriate costumes, 

 and exhibited in cases fitted up to represent the appropriate 

 environment. 



In the early part of the year was organized at Paris, in 

 the Palace of Industry, an ethnographic museum, bringing 

 together the collections scattered in various departments 

 throughout the city. On the occasion of the opening a se- 

 ries of twenty-six lectures were delivered upon ethnographic 

 subjects by the most distinguished savans and travellers in 

 Paris. The titles of the papers and the names of the lect- 

 urers are given in the JRevue Scientifique. 



The Ethnography of Germany is discussed by H. IT. Ho- 

 worth, in the Journal of the Anthropological Institute, pp. 

 211,293. The distinguished author has made a series of 

 communications to the same journal and others, upon the 

 Tribes of Europe at the Dawn of History. An article in the 

 Edinburgh Review for July is devoted to the Origin and 

 Wandering of the Gypsies. Dr. Mehlis, in No. 4 of Das 

 Ausland, has a paper entitled Studien zur Yolkerbewegung 

 in Mitteleuropa. 



Since the breaking-out of the Russo-Turkish war, the great- 

 est enthusiasm has been awakened concerning the ethnog- 

 raphy of European Russia and Turkey. The 54th Ergan- 

 zungsheft of Petermann's Mittheilungen is devoted to the 

 Ethnography of Russia, and is illustrated by a colored map.
