mal remains, and by the presence of pottery and polished 

 implements. 



Lieutenant Ziesrler has discovered near the shore of the 

 Trondhjem Fiord a kjokkenmodding, which has since been 

 examined by Mr. Rygh. It yielded shells of species of Os- 

 trea^ Cardium, Mytilus, ZtiUorina, Patella, Tritonium, JMocli- 

 ola, Ct/prina, and Purpura all of which still exist on the 

 coast of Norway. The bones discovered were so much de- 

 caved that most of them baffled examination. There were 

 recognized a human frontal bone, a beaver's tooth, and bones 

 of the dog, the elk, and the reindeer. All marrow -bones 

 were broken. The implements discovered w r ere an axe, of 

 reindeer or elk bone, and a lance, several arrow-heads, a cut- 

 ting tool, and a wedge, all of slate a material not used by 

 the people who left the shell-heaps on the Danish coast. 



An account of researches in Brixham Cave will be found 

 in the journal of the Victoria Institute, February 16, 1874. 



The committee for the exploration of the Victoria Cave, 

 Settle, Yorkshire, have discovered among the bones of ex- 

 tinct mammals, under conditions which argue their existence 

 before the Glacial Age, one concerning which Mr. Busk says: 

 "The bone is, I have no doubt, human ; a portion of an un- 

 usually clumsy fibula, in that respect not unlike the same 

 bone in the Mentone skeleton." See a paper read before 

 Section C of the British Association at Belfast. 



Mr. Pengelly read before the same section the tenth report 

 of the committee for exploring Kent Cavern, Torquay. 



All anthropologists hear with profound regret of the defeat 

 in the British Parliament of Sir J. Lubbock's bill for the pro- 

 tection of ancient monuments. An abstract of this bill will 

 be found in the last number of the Annual Record. 



The German Society of Anthropology, etc., is industriously 

 collecting material for a prehistoric map of Germany, which 

 it has resolved to publish. Among the points to be noted 

 on this map will be the position of the most notable prehis- 

 toric settlements, fortifications, lake -dwellings, cave struct- 

 ures, burial-mounds, and other places of sepulture. By a 

 judicious use of colors, the various periods stone, bronze, 

 iron, etc. will be indicated, and altogether the map will be 

 one of sjreat value to the student of ethnology.
