Australian Anthropology. — After an absence of rather 

 more than twelve months, the greater part of which was spent 

 among the aboriginals of the northern interior of Australia, 

 Professor Baldwin Spencer, F.R.S., and Mr. F. J. Gillen returned 

 to Melbourne on 17th March. They were In excellent health, 

 and were welcomed home by a number of gentlemen prominent 

 in literary and scientific circles. The explorers have brought 

 Ipack a considerable amount of material, including phonograph 

 and cinemetograph records, on which to base an extensive work 

 on the myths, customs, &c., of the various tribes met with. 



" The Emu." — The Australasian Ornithologists' Union is to be 

 congratulated on the issue of the third number of The Emu, its 

 official organ. This part, completing the first volume, fully 

 maintains the high standard of the magazine, which we trust will 

 attain the object aimed at, viz., " to popularize the study and pro- 

 tection of native birds," notwithstanding its almost prohibitive price.
