VIII.— SOCIOLOGY. 



The firm hold which the methods of natural history have taken upon 

 sociology is exhibited in the review of a threadbare subject with a 

 reversal of public judgment. The eflbrts of Lord Kingsborough, Adair, 

 and others to prove that the North American Indians were the lost 

 tribes of Israel brought discredit upon their statements about the 

 Indians. Colonel Mallery, as vice-president of the American Associa- 

 tion in Toronto, reviewed the subject, reaffirmed the statements about 

 both Indians and Israelites, and then proceeded to show that the simi- 

 larities between the two peoples could be accounted for by a well-known 

 principle in ethnology without assuming either consanguinity or contact. 



The British Association for the Advancement of Science did an excel- 

 lent thing in appointing a commission to study the Indians of Canada. 

 Dr. Boas has reported extensively upon tlie social life of the coast 

 Indians of British Columbia, a branch of etlmologic science for which 

 he had specially qualified himself. 



Mr. Stuart Culin, of I*hilade]j)hia, has utilized tlie presence of a large 

 number of Chinese there to acquaint himself with some of their social 

 customs. His studies in their apparatus of gambling have been prose- 

 cuted with extreme care, and the result is a series of monographs of 

 great value. 



The one absorbing topic among sociologists at present is the cause 

 and prevention of crime. A congress of criminology was held in Paris
