Report by \V. H. Holmes on the Congress of American] 

 Held at Stuttgart, Germany, August [8-23, [904 

 On July 26 I sailed from New York in company with Mr. J. R. 

 Marshall of the firm of Hornblower and Marshall, architects of the 

 new U. S. National Museum building, and reached Plymouth, Eng- 

 land, August 1. Nine days were spent in visiting the museums of 

 London. Oxford and Cambridge, and eight days in similar work in 

 Paris, and on August 18 I reached Stuttgart. The opening session 

 of the Congress of Americanists was held in the forenoon of that 

 day and was attended by a large number of members and other 

 prominent persons including His Majesty, King William II of 

 Wurtemberg, who in response to the address of the President of the 

 Congress, Professor Karl von den Steinen, expressed at length 

 his appreciation of the aims and work of the Congress, and his 

 pleasure at having the present session held in his capital city — 

 Stuttgart. A report of the meeting of the Congress held in New 

 York City in 1902 was read by Dr. Franz Boas, of the Natural His- 

 tory Museum, New York, and other routine business was transacted. 

 The Congress was invited to take luncheon with the King in his 

 suburban palace and many members of the Congress and their 

 friends attended. Afterwards a reception was held in the palace 

 gardens. The King's interest was highly appreciated and con- 

 tributed much to the success of the Congress. During the presence 

 of the Congress receptions were also held at the residences of Count 

 von Linden, vice-president of the Congress, and Mr. Edward N. 

 Ozmun, U. S. Consul at Stuttgart. Sessions were held on the nine- 

 teenth, twentieth, twenty-second, twenty-third, and twenty-fourth, 

 and a large number of papers were read dealing in the main with 

 questions of American history, ethnology and archeology, the pro- 

 gramme being as follows :
