64 SCIENCE PROGRESS 



admirably clear insight into South Slav character and manners. 

 Other articles in the Journal are : " The People and Language 

 of Lifu, Loyalty Islands," by Sidney H. Ray ; " The Menhirs of 

 Madagascar," by A. L. Lewis ; " Arab and Swahili Dances and 

 Ceremonies," by R. Skene ; and " Studies in Primitive Looms " 

 (pt. 3), by H. Ling Roth. 



The Proceedings of the Prehistoric Society of East Anglia for 

 1916-17 (being vol. ii. pt. 3) have now been published. The 

 article of most general interest is the first, which is by W. G. 

 Clarke (the energetic Honorary Secretary of the Society), and 

 is entitled " Are Grime's Graves Neolithic? " Mr. Clarke comes 

 to the conclusion that this question should be answered in the 

 affirmative. Among the other articles, the following may be 

 mentioned : " Chipped Flints from below the Boulder Clay 

 at Hertford," by H. G. O. Kendall ; " A Cissbury-Type Station 

 at Great Melton," by W. G. Clarke and H. H. Halls ; " Plateau 

 Deposits and Implements," by Reginald Smith ; " The Position 

 of Prehistoric Research in England," by J. Reid Moir ; and 

 " Further Excavations at Grime's Graves," this being the 

 Presidential Address by A. E. Peake. The latter writer would 

 assign a Moustier-Aurignac date to the " Graves." 



In the recent numbers of Man, the only article which would 

 appear to call for special mention is one (in March) entitled : 

 " The People and Language between the Fly and Strickland 

 Rivers, Papua," by the Hon. J. P. W. Murray (Lieutenant- 

 Governor of Papua), which is communicated by S. H. Ray. 

 This is an important contribution to the ethnography of the 

 great island.
