554 PROGRESS OF ANTHROPOLOGY IN 1890. 



occasion was one of great importance both socially and scientifically, 

 as the following list of topics will show: 



(1) Pre-historic antiquities, 



(2) Historico-geogra[)hic and ethnographic antiquities. 



(3) Monuments of fine arts. 



(4) Customs and usages in Russia.

There is an excellent report of this meeting in the Mittheilungen, 

 Wien (XX, 148-164). 



An event in archaeology worthj^ of record in 1889-'90 was the 

 removal of the National Egyptian Museum from Bulaq on the east 

 side of the Nile to the spacious Khedivai palace at Gizeh on the west- 

 ern Ivank. 



The death of Schliemann removed one of the most romantic charac- 

 ters in the scientific world. The conception of exploring the site of 

 ancient Troy was formed in his boyhood. His assiduity in amassing a 

 fortune to this end, and his untiring eftbrt to spend his fortune to 

 secure that end have held him up to tlie admiration of two generations. 

 That his interpretation of his discoveries may not be in every case 

 correct, will not detract greatly from his. just meed of praise. 



Archaeological publications of general interest will be found under 

 the following titles: Aboriginal Monuments in North Dakota, Mont- 

 gomery; American Antiquities, Peet (under several titles) ; Antiquity 

 of Man, White (series of papers on the Warfare of Science in Pop. Sc. 

 Monthly); Antiquities of Tennessee, Thruston ; Archieology, Powell; 

 Archiieology of India, Fiihrer; Archaeology of Ohio, Putnam; Bronze 

 Age, Montelius; Cliff Dwellings, Chapin, Mearns; Discoveries in 

 Egypt, Edwards, Brugsch, Naville; Fort Ancient, Ohio, Moorehead; 

 French Archaeology, Mortillet; Gashed Bones and the Antiquity of 

 Man, Hughes; Oriental Archaeology, Sayce; Prehistoric Anthropology, 

 Wilson ; Prehistoric Cave dwellings, Bickford ; Stone Age in Africa, 

 Andreci Winnipeg Mound Region, Bryce. 



VIII. — SOCIOLOGY. 



In December of 1889, the American Academy of Political and Social 

 Science was organized in Philadelphia under the most favorable aus- 

 pices. The list of subscribing members reached the number of 800 in 

 the first six months of the Academy. The most distinguished univer- 

 sity presidents and professors are among the governing body. This co- 

 operative action marks an era in a branch of anthropology hitherto diffi- 

 cult to summarize. The resources of sociological study are unlimited.
