iPROGRESS OF ANTHROPOLOGY IN 1890, 533 



(5) A new museum for mediaeval and modern times in other coun- 

 tries of Europe. 



(G) Ethnographic Museum, arranged to show the civilizations of tlie 

 world by tribes. Tliis was probably the first collection in Kurope to 

 be laid out u])on a strictly ethnographic basis. 



(7) Royal Museum of classic antiquities in Prinzens Palais. 



(8) Royal collection of coins in Prinzens Palais. 



No mention is made here of the royal galleries of art nor of the col- 

 lection of crania and skeU-tons in the Zoological Museum. The visitor 

 to Copenhagen never fails to spend a day in the Thorwalsden Museum, 

 into which the affectionate esteem of his fellow citizens has gathered 

 the works of tiie great sculptor and his personal effects and displayed 

 them most attractively. 



A work of primary Importance, which the director of every other 

 anthropological museum should imitate with great promptness and care, 

 is Dr. Hamy's volume entitled Origines dn Musee d'Ethnographie du 

 Trocadero, Paris. The first exotic presents known to have come to 

 France were the gifts of Haroun al Raschid to Charlemagne, 801 and 

 807, A, D, From that moment to the present all sorts of treasures, 

 gotten in many ways, have been in the charge of public keepers. The 

 modern museum is sljown by this volume to have been the growth of 

 ages, the beginning or germ being the curiosity of the king or some of 

 the nobility. It would be well if every important museum could have 

 a volume of history like Dr. Hamy's " Origines." 



In addition to a thorough history of each public museum, prepared 

 by its own authorities, the exigencies of intercommunication have led 

 to the founding of a journal for museum workers, entitled, Interna- 

 tionales Archiv fur EthnograpMe (Leydeu), and in February, appeared 

 the first number of the Bulletin des Musees, Paris. It is edited by Mr. 

 Edward Garnier and Leonce Benedite, and resembles the Berlin " Year 

 Book of the Royal Prussian Art Collections," under the heading of 

 "Mouvement des Musees it gives notes on other national galleries and 

 collections, and a bibliography. 



The standard list of journals remains the same. No anthropologist 

 can afford to neglect the following list :

 Braunschweig ; Archivio per PAntropologia, Firenze ; Bulletins de la So- 

 ciete W Anthropologic de Paris; Internationales Archiv filr Ethnographies
