of wealtli or leisure to expend much time and money on i)rivato collec- 

 tions. The committee of arrangements of the American atisociatiou 

 last summer published a list of all such private museums in and around 

 Cincinnati. Tlie public enterprises for the exploration of American 

 antiquities demand a more tliau passing notice. In Massachusetts, the 

 Achreological Institute of America in Boston, the Peabody Muiseum iu 

 Cambridge, and the Antiquarian Society' of Worcester are doing most 

 valuable service to archaeology. The lirst named has secured the serv- 

 ices of Mr. A. F. Eandelier among the i)ueblos, and has published its 

 first volume noticed in the bibliography of archneology. The report of 

 the Peabody Museum for 1881 h;is not yet appeared, but a reference to 

 the names of the curator and his assistants will show that they have 

 not been idle. 



Xo pubhcations in archaeology have been issued by the museum in 

 Xew York or the societies of Philadelphia. The Smithsonian Institu- 

 tion has published its annual report and Vol. XXII of Contributions, 

 which includes the monographs of Jones, Habel, Eau, and Dall, pre- 

 viously issued in separate form. The Bureau of Ethnology, though de- 

 voted mainly to language, sociology, and mythology, has employed two 

 explorers among western mounds, and under its auspices Col. James 

 Stevenson, with a competent force, has been occupied in the pueblo 

 country reaping a rich harvest of ancient and modem pottery and 

 other objects. The bureau has also issued as a part of Vol. V, "Obser- 

 vations on cup-shaped and other lapidariau sculptures in the Old 

 World and in America," by Charles llau. 



Mention should also be made of the Lorillard expedition to Mexico 

 and Central America under M. Desire Charnay, whose preliminary re- 

 ports have appeared in the pages of the Xorth American Review. 



In the State of Ohio, the Western Reserve and Xorthern Ohio His- 

 torical Society publishes tracts, and the Madisonville Literary and 

 Scientific Society, associated with the Cincinnati Society of Xatural 

 History, reports the progress of explorations in the Madisonville Ceme- 

 tery. 



In the State Historical Society and in the Geological Survey volumes 

 of Indiana, Wisconsin, and Minnesota occur, now and then, accounts of 

 ancient remains. 



The papers on archjBology at the American association will be found 

 enumerated under Instrumentalities. Special volumes upon, archteology 

 will be noticed under the names of Abbott, Bransford, Evans, Geikie, 

 Merrill, Nadaillac, Putnam, Ran, Reiss, and Wheeler. .

It is much to be regretted that we have not on the w^^tern continent 

 an institution for the study of man as a njember of the animal king- 

 dom. For this cause that portion of anthropology, which has been 

 pursued with such brilliancy in France, England, Germany, Russia, and
