ANTHROPOLOGY. 499 



Medical Museum, the Library of tlie Surgeon-General, with its Index- 

 Catalogue and the Index Medicus ; the Bureau of Ethnology, and the 

 Anthroiudogical Society of Washington, not to speak of a dozen other 

 contributory departments and bureaus; all these, taken together, fur- 

 nish a band of workers, a body of material, and a series of publications 

 that will compare favorably with those of London, Paris, and Berlin. 



There are museums, societies, and other means of study in Salem, 

 Worcester, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cincinnati, St. Louis, 

 Davenport, Milwaukee, and San Francisco not to be overlooked. Dr. 

 Brintou, of Philadelphia, was the first anthropologist in our country to 

 bear the title of professor in a regular university. 



The State historical societies are all more or less busy in gathering 

 the material for local history. 



Among foreign resources of study, in addition to the old societies 

 now approaching manhood's years, a fact worthy of special notice is 

 the establishment at Leyden, under favorable auspices, of the Interna- 

 tionales Archiv., devoted especially to the interchange of information 

 and courtesies between museums. The editor, Mr. J. D. E. Schmelz,has 

 been very active in gathering summaries of information about many 

 public collections. 



Under the head of congresses must be included the anthropological 

 section of the American Association, of the British Association, of >the 

 French Association, the German AUgemeiue Versammlung der deutscheu 

 Gesellschaft fiir Anthropologic, Ethnologic und Urgeschichte, the Con- 

 gres des Americanistes, and the International Congress of Anthropol- 

 ogy and Prehistoric Archaeology, 



A systematic bibliography of anthropology has not yet been at- 

 tempted. The nearest approach to the subject is the Smithsonian sum- 

 maries and the lists given in the German Archiv. Excellent special 

 lists will be noticed under their appropriate heads, which, if brought 

 together, would nearly complete the work. It is to be hoped that all 

 bibliographers will adopt the order and plan pursued by the authors of 

 the Index-Catalogue of the Surgeon-General's Library. This would avoid 

 confusion in transferring titles from one work to another. For instance, 

 Fauvelle (Dr.) Des causes d'erreur en anthropologic. Bull. Soc. d'an- 

 throi). de Par., 3. s., x, 203-275; or, in case of a published volume, Ho- 

 velacque(Abel). Precis d'anthropologie(Bibliothequeanthropologique). 

 Paris (1887), Delahaye et Lecroisnier, 365 pj)., 20 tigs. 8vo. 



In quoting from a magazine, journal, or other serial the order should 

 be: (I) author; (2) title of extract; (3) journal, always abbreviated by 

 the Surgeon-General's code; (4) town, publisher, series, volume, date, 

 number of pages, maps, plates, and figures, and, finally the size. 



In giving the title of a i)riuted book the same order of author and title 

 are to be observed. Then comes the place of publication, the date in 

 l)arenthesis, the publisher, the pages, etc., as in extracts from journals. 

 If there be more than one volume it is sometimes the plan to treat each
