592 PKOGRESS OF ANTHROPOLOGY IN 1889. 



calls attention to the works of Sergi and Turner in the current year. 

 Characteristic addresses were delivered by Galton and Virchow, the 

 former before the annual meeting of the Anthropological Institute, the 

 latter before the general meeting of German anthropologists in 

 Vienna. The volumes of the Bibliotheque Anthropologique continue 

 to malie their appearance. This series is designed to give expression 

 to the ripest thoughts of the French Societe d'Anthropologie. The 

 series of Smithsonian Annual Reports now embraces two volumes 

 instead of one, as formerly. Part I contains general papers; while in 

 Part II will be found only such as are based on material in the 

 National Museum collections. 



(2) Happily for the diffusion of knowledge, innumerable societies and 

 organizations are now to be found in every land, studying mankind. 

 It would be well to enumerate them all. The best collection of titles 

 will be found in the very last Smithsonian list of foreign and home cor- 

 respondents. Scudder's catalogue has already become antiquated by 

 the death of many societies and the birth of others. Indeed the 

 anthropological part of it was never full. Nothing is more desirable, 

 and the suggestion is here made with the hope of stirriug up an inter- 

 est in the subject. In the bibliography appended to this report most 

 of the great national societies are noticed, especially in connection with 

 their journals and proceedings. The personnel of the American local 

 societies is generally represented in the American Association. The 

 same is true of England and France. The leading spirits of local or 

 ganizations are to be seen in the British Association and the French As- 

 sociation. It is only in Germany that a general anthropological annual 

 meeting is held, in which the sole topic considered is the natural his- 

 tory of man. The national organization of Germany is most complete 

 in this regard. Every meeting publishes a stenographic report in 

 Correspondenz-Blatt. 



(3) What is true of societies is true of their journals. A full list can 

 not be given. If the following should be carefully studied, nearly all 

 that is good will be found reviewed or at least catalogued by author and 

 by title.

(4) The most gratifying statement to be made in this summary is the 

 fact that every popular magazine, weekly or daily newspaper, and every 

 course of lectures for the people, contains a great deal of the very best 

 anthropological material. It is frequently said nowadays to the pub- 

 lishing committees of technical and scientific journals, " We can not
