ANTHKOPOLOGY. 407 



proceedings of all the societies, local and general, are faith- 

 fully reported. Our resources are not exhausted even then, 

 for important matter is furnished by Petermann's Mitthei- 

 htngen, Globus, Das Ausland, and, doubtless, by many other 

 worthy publications of that land teeming with intellectual 

 activity. To the fourth volume of " Jahresbericht iiber die 

 Fortschritte der Anatomie und Physiologie," published by 

 Professor F. Kollmann and Professor J. Schwalbe, Leipsic, 

 1878, Professor Kollmann contributes an excellent resume of 

 German Anthropology for the year 1877. 



Mittheilungen der Anthropologischen Gesellschaft in Wie?i, 

 published by a committee of the most distinguished special- 

 ists in Austro-Hungary, is the only organ devoted to our sub- 

 ject which has reached us from that empire. 



Information upon Russian Anthropology comes to us at

 of Moscow. The same is true of the Scandinavian countries,

The third meeting of the International Congress of Amer- 

 icanists is advertised to meet in Brussels, September 23-26, 

 1879. 



A Review of Italian Anthropology is published in the Re- 

 vue d Anthropologie, pp. 125 and 542. The International 

 Congress of Orientalists met in Florence, September 12-18. 

 The organ of the Italian Society of Anthropology is Archivio 

 per V Antropologia e la Etnologia, published by Dr. Mante- 

 gazza, in Florence. 



Revista de Antropolog'ia is the official organ of the Span- 

 ish Anthropological Society. 



The most important convocation of the year was the An- 

 thropological Congress, held in connection with the exhibi- 

 tion of human anatomy and primitive industry, at the Paris 

 Exposition, August 16-20, and partially reported in the Re- 

 vue a? Anthropologie, pp*. 692-753. It is safe to say that the
