two articles of a more popular character than mere lists, 

 in each number. We hope to be able at no distant date 

 to issue it oftener than four times a year, and in a much 

 larger size. Heretofore the Journal has been somewhat 

 irregular in its appearance, but now we feel confident of 

 its being out on time. The paging has been arranged 

 convenient for binding when the Series is completed.

Prc-Hisioric Races of the United States. — By J. W. Foster, 



LL. D. pp 415. S. C. Griggs & Co., Chicago, Illinois. 

 The evidences of a race of human beings who inhabited the earth 

 at a very remote period, perhaps in pre-Adamite times, are at- 

 tracting the attention of scientific observers at the present time. 

 That such a race existed upon this Continent, differing in char- 

 acter and customs from the race who dwelt here at the time of 

 the discovery of America, we have reason to believe. We 

 have in this work the embodiment of such materials as relate to 

 this subject in the United States. The work is a credit to both 

 author and publishers.
