PROGRESS OF ANTIIROrOLOGY IN 1889. 599 



Smithsonian or National Museum library, and the Bureau of Ethnol- 

 ogy at the Geological Survey. ]n I'aris, the Societc d'Anthropologie, 

 the i^^cole, and the Laboratoire all have their books together in one 

 room, but these are far irom exhausting the resources of that great 

 city. In Copenhagen the royal librarian turns over the books on 

 various specialities to the department most interested. The precise 

 method followed in Berlin, London, Dresden, Leipsic, and other great 

 centers is not known, but the Peabody plan is far the best, of exchang- 

 ing cards, when the books are not in duplicate. 



In addition to the lists here given the student should carefully study 

 the appendices to the American Anthropologist, Archiv iiir Anthro- 

 pologie, Mittheilungen der Anthropologischen Gesellscluil't iu Wien ; 

 and for biological topics, the Index Medicus aijd Surgeon-General's 

 Catalogue. All the publications of the United States Government are 

 given in Hickox's Guide. 



10, Among the books of instruction to collectors of anthropological in- 

 formation no one has had greater popularity or done more good than the 

 little guide published by the British Association for the Advancement 

 of Science. After several years of well earned praise it appears in a new 

 dress, with such corrections as tiaie and experience have suggested. 

 The general tone of all such manuals is toward more rigid and multi- 

 plied observations. Professor Goode's epigram, that "a good museum 

 specimen is an exhaustive and truthful label illustrated by an object" is 

 appreciated in all lists of questions. The material history of man must 

 be studied by natural history methods, and as these methods improve, 

 the science will need to re- write its question books. 



II.— BIOLOGICAL ANTHROPOLOGY. 



Biological anthropology in a restricted and scientitic sense is what is 

 learned about nuxn by the biologist in his laboratory and in the use of 

 his instrumentalities of research. The psychologist, the linguist, the 

 ethnologist, the ethnographer, the sociologist, have all need ot this 

 man's aid, but it would be entirely contrary to the use of words to 

 declare that the first named investigators were biologists only. 



No better way can be devised of showing how the body in health an<l 

 disease has been invaded by this nu)st zealous class of workei's than a 

 list of the principal publications for a year. And this is here appended 

 as a study in the scope of biological anthroi)ol()gy :
