396 ANNUAL RECORD OE SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY. 



The ninth number of the same journal has a chart of the 

 principal races of Russia. No. 3 of Harper's Franklin Square 

 Library describes "The Russians of To-day." At the Paris 

 Exposition the Russian exhibit was especially praiseworthy. 

 The Societe Imperiale, of Moscow, having in view a grand 

 exhibition of all the peoples under Russian dominion at Mos- 

 cow, in 1879, were able to bring the material already gath- 

 ered to Paris. Notice is also directed to Dr. Wilhelm Thorn- 

 sen's work on the " Relations between Ancient Russia and 

 Scandinavia, and the Origin of the Russian State," published 

 by Parker, in London ; to A. Rambaud's " History of Russia," 

 published by Hachette, in Paris; and to the memoirs of Ho- 

 worth, on the Spread of the Slaves, in the Journal of the An- 

 thropological Institute, vol. vii., p. 324 ; vol. viii., p. 65. The 

 Anthropological Society of Vienna exhibited at Paris several 

 beautiful collections illustrative of Slavic races.

Africa. 



Stanley's "Through the Dark Continent," elegantly brought 

 out in two volumes by the Harpers, in addition to being a 

 graphic account of adventure and discovery, contains much 

 of permanent ethnological interest. The Paris Exposition 

 was especially rich in African materials. The French col- 

 onies in the north, the Cabyles or Berbers; the colony of 

 Senegal, including the Moors, Yoloffs, Sarracolais, Bambaras, 

 Mandingoes, Foulahs, and Toucouleurs; the Krumen, Pa- 

 houins, M'pongwes, and Congos of Central and Western Af- 

 rica; the Buschmen and Cape tribes, were all exhibited, not 

 only by their arts, but also in anatomical specimens and liv- 

 ing individuals. Attention is further directed to Etude sur 

 les Soninkes (of Soudan), by Dr. Ferand, in the Revue d 1 An- 

 thropologic, pp. 584-606 ; to a paper on the Nyassa, by II. B. 

 Cotterell, in the Proceedings of the Royal Geographical So-
