niaii lustitution and of the Bureau of Ethnology, the American Anthro- 

 pologist, the Ohio Archjeological and Historical Journal, Anales del 

 Museo Nacional de Mexico, and the proceedings of a few State and

SOCIOLOGY. 



Sociology is the natural history of society, and studies the formation 

 and growth of human compacts that have survived and become varie-
