PROGRESS OF ANTHROPOLOGY IN 1890. 529 



I. — GENERAL ANTHROPOLOGY. 



It must be remembered in this connection that we have not now to 

 lay the foundation for a new science, but to bring together the results 

 of an exceedingly vigorous one. The resources at our command are: 



(1) General treatises, like Tylor's "Anthropology," courses of lec- 

 tures, encyclop.Tdias, and classifications. 



(2) Societies with their published proceedings and transactions and 

 periodicals devoted entirely to the study of man. 



(3) Assemblies and congresses, national and international, with their 

 Gompfes-rendus. 



(4) Museums and collections, public and private, with catalogues and 

 books of instructions. Expositions. 



(5) Special libraries containing both literature and albums. 



(G) Laboratories, as in other sciences, for investigation both in struct- 

 ural and functional anthropology. 



The most noteworthy event in our science for Americans, was the 

 Congres International des Americauistes, at Paris. At tliis meeting 

 the compte-rendu of the seventh session held in Berlin (1888) was i)re- 

 seuted. The list of papers there printed is as follows :
