SUMMARY OF PROGRESS IN ANTHROPOLOGY. 615 



meters. They are very prognatliic and l>raehyeeplialic and the eoh^r is 

 brown or reddish yellow rather than blaek. Stuhlmann looks upon the 

 pigmies as relies of a peculiar variety of our species that once extended 

 over Africa and parts of Asia. Dr. Brinton however, iu a lecture 

 before tlie Washington Anthropological Society aftiruied that the size 

 of these people had been brought about through degeneration. 



Mr. G. F. Scott Elliot, at the end of his notes on native West African 

 customs, has the good Judgment to give a catalogue of the tribes on the 

 upper Zambesi, with names, geographical locations, and definite posi- 

 tion by latitude and longitude. [J. Anthrop. IriMt., xxiii, 85.) 



Br. Karl Sai)per publishes in I*eiermann''s MitfheiliDif/en a short

9. The Chorti. 19. Pokomchi. 

 10. Maine or Mam. 20. Kekchi. 



The second part of the paper relates to culture, and especial attention 

 is given to the varieties of habitations,* and an excellent map accom- 

 panies, showing in color the location and spread of each language. 



Tlie Tierra del Fiiegians received more than their share of attention 

 in a monograph published in the Archip fur AnthropoJogie (Braun- 

 schweig, XXII, 155-218, figs, and tables). These islanders are given 

 under three stocks. 



(1) Ona (Wua; Jacana Kunny of Fitzroy; Aonik of Brinton) iu the 

 east. 



(2) Jahgau (Jagan or Japoos or Tekenika of Fitz Eoy) in the south. 

 (.3) Alakaluf (Alekoolip) in the vSouthwest. 



In every kind of cranial measurement these i)eoplesHare compared 

 with one another and with the rest of mankind. The author comes to 

 the long deferred conclusion that the Fuegians resemble Europeans 

 most and came from that continent. 



The Polynesian Society of Wellington, New Zealaiul, takes up the 

 problem of the Oceanic races with great vigor, publishing a quarterly 

 journal. jSTecessarily the great majority of papers are in the grai)hic 

 rather than in the logic stage, as should be. Papers of general value 

 are: On Savage Island, E, Tregear and J. M. Ossmond; Asiatic origin 

 of Oceanic numerals, E. Best; Asiatic gods iu the Pacific, E. Tregear; 

 Relationship of Malayan languages, T. L. Stevens, and many communi- 

 cations ou the Maories.
