 Germany, that has furnished so many distinguished stu- 

 dents of archaeology, has not proved a fertile field for the 

 explorer. Dr. Gross presented at the German Anthropolog- 

 ical Association Nephrite Implements from Lake Biel, which 

 raised a discussion as to their importation from China. Ar- 

 chiv filr Anthropologies with the Correspondenzblatt and Zeit- 

 schrift filr Ethnologie, are the authorized media of commu- 

 nication. The Bavarian branch of the German Association 

 has issued several beautifully illustrated numbers of Beitrage 

 zur Anth. if. Urgesch. Bayerns. Correspondenzblatt, Nos. 9 

 and 10, contains a full report of the general meeting of the 

 Deutsche Anthropologische Gesellschaft. 



Upon Italian archaeology we have noticed : A Prehistoric 

 City in Tuscany, R. Pullan, Academy, July 1 ; On the Origin 

 of Terramares, Archivio, vol. iv., Nos. 3 and 4 ; " Gli Scavi 

 della Certosa di Bologna," reviewed in Materiaux, No. 1 ; 

 Sculptures sur les Bords des Lacs de Merveilles, Materiaux, 

 No. 8 ; Bibliographie Italienne, Materiaux, Nos. 3 and 4. 

 Archivio p>er V Antropologia, Florence, continues to be the

 at Moscow in 1878. The Royal Archaeological. Commission 

 has been prosecuting extensive researches near Kertch and 

 elsewhere for the exhibition {Mittheilungen der Anthropolo- 

 gischen Gesellschaft in IF^e??, Nos. 4 and 5). Von C. Grewinck,
